I hope this doesn't provide ammunition for the people pushing making autistic children drink bleach or giving them bleach enemas as a "cure" for autism. Yes, there are such people, and yes, there are parents stupid enough to take their advice and do that to their kids.
Since killing bacteria is one of the legitimate functions of bleach, I can see them claiming that their bleach therapy will work by killing off that bad, autism-linked gut bacteria.
