We report here a draft genome sequence of Megasphaera sp. ASD88, a strain from the intestinal microbiota of a child with autism spectrum disorder, representing a previously undescribed species of the genus Megasphaera. The assembled sequence consists of 88 scaffolds, and the total size is 2.59 Mb. Keywords: Autism spectrum disorder, Gut microbiota, Megasphaera, Negativicutes, Novel species, Taxonogenomics
