“…The interaction between diet and lifestyle should be more prominently included in studies on treatment strategies for ADHD because diet and nutrition interact with other lifestyle factors, such as physical activity [41]. In addition, a survey found that 93.06%, 90.28%, 80.56%, and 62.50% of ASD children did not consume enough fruit, fish, vegetables, or water on a regular basis [42]. ADHD risk has decreased by up to 37% with a "healthy" diet high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fish.…”

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted purposively among 45 children who took regular health and nutritional care facilities in the Savoy Autism Rehabilitation Center at Narayanganj, Bangladesh with the aimed to observe the nutritional status and dietary patterns of the selected attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) child. About 24% of the respondents were well nourished, while 18% of respondents were overweight and 58% of the children were underweight. Dietary patterns were monotonous, cereals (rice/bread) consumption were higher, whereas daily fish and meat consumption were very poor such as 4.4% (small fish), 13.3% (large fish), and 2.2% (meat) respectively daily. Fruits and vegetables consumption were also found as poor among the children. It can be concluded that more emphasis should be given to the incorporation of meat, fish, fruits and vegetables daily into the diet of children with providing nutritional care guidelines to the caregivers of these children so that their diet gets more diversified to ensure macro and micronutrient adequacy. Diet rich with adequate nutrients and proper behavioral and psychiatric therapy should be provided in order to control hyperactive-related disorders.

“…Hasil tersebut didukung oleh penelitian Seda (2020) di mana usia yang berhubungan dengan perilaku makan secara signifikan jatuh kepada pada usia 2 -5 tahun sebesar 84,8% (P= 0,03). 14 Pada anak ASD antara usia 2 dan 5 tahun, namun penelitian ini tidak menjelaskan mengapa masalah pemberian makan anak terjadi paling banyak pada usia 4 tahun (p=0,001). Pada penelitian yang dilakukan, didapatkan sebanyak 72 (74,2%) anak berjenis kelamin laki-laki.…”

Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication, limited interests, and repetitive behavior. In children with ASD, eating disorders are characterized by eating behavior, namely food selectivity. Objectives: This research was conducted to look at the relationship between sensory profiles and eating behavior in children with ASD in 2022. Method: Using correlational observational research with a cross-sectional design. Determining the sample size was carried out using consecutive sampling and it found that 97 respondents were parents of children with ASD who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria on the Autism Spectrum Disorder Care Platform. Data collection was carried out online using standard Short Sensory Profile (SSP) and Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) instruments. Bivariate statistical test, this study uses Spearman correlation. Result: From the research results, it was found that the relationship between the sensory profile and the eating behavior of children with ASD was 0.138 or p-value> 0.05. Conclusion: There is a relationship between sensory profiles and the eating behavior of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the ASD Research Center in 2022.

“…Mendive et al reported that the most significant difference between the ASD group and the TD group was the consumption of dairy products and cereals with gluten (34). Similarly, Ahumada et al observed that only 52.78% of children diagnosed with ASD meet the daily dairy recommendation, and 90.28% do not meet the fish consumption recommendation (36). For instance, Sharp et al reported that all ASD children, included in the study were at risk for inadequate intake of at least one nutrient; 78.5% were at risk for five or more nutrient inadequacies.…”

This review explores the utility of anthropometric measurements and food intake questionnaires as assessment tools for determining the nutritional status of children with autism. Recognizing the unique challenges in evaluating dietary habits and nutritional adequacy in this population, the study investigates the reliability and validity of anthropometric measurements, such as height, weight, and body mass index, alongside food intake questionnaires administered to children with autism. The findings hold promise for enhancing nutritional interventions and developing targeted strategies to address the distinctive dietary preferences and sensitivities often observed in children with autism, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of their nutritional wellbeing.
