“…Similar to other studies published [1][2]4,11,12], adolescents with ASD preferred the energy dense foods such as chips, cakes, hot dogs, and pizza. This preference may contribute to obesity in adolescents with ASD.…”

“…Previous research of younger children with ASD demonstrates that children with ASD have much more nutritional inadequacies than typically developing peers [1,2,18]. These nutritional deficiencies may effect growth and development, compound gastrointestinal system issues, or create metabolic abnormalities [8].…”

“…Food selectivity has been reported to be more common in children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), 75.89% [1][2][3][4][5]. Food selectivity has been defined as the "refusal to eat developmentally appropriate food" and characterized as "eating a small range of food lacking in nutrition" [6].…”

“…This selectivity can create feeding difficulties. Indeed, children with ASD often have feeding difficulties that may present as restricted food intake, texture based food selectivity, food refusal, and/or repetitive food choices [2,3]. Although there is documented increased incidence of food selectivity among the ASD population, there is no clear indication of cause; yet, some researchers have hypothesized several relationships that may contribute to the food selectivity such as sensory impairments [7], family food preferences [4], and gastrointestinal system issues [8].…”

“…Two longitudinal studies have shown that children with ASD have continued with similar food selectivity years later and in one case, decreased food repertoire [3,4]. Previous research has focused on children with ASD and food selectivity with mean ages ranging from four to eight years [1][2][3][4]7,10,13] with few addressing adolescents exclusively. Clearly, there exists a need to investigate food selectivity in adolescents with ASD.…”

Dietary intake in children on the autism spectrum is altered and linked to differences in autistic traits and sensory processing styles

Diets of children and adolescents on the autism spectrum often differ when compared to their non-autistic peers. Most dietary studies have been limited by small sample sizes and rarely assess the heterogeneity of autism. Addressing this gap, this study compared the anthropometrics, dietary composition, dietary quality, and food variety of 154 Australian children and adolescents on the spectrum and

Introduction: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) categorises patients with selective and/or restrictive eating patterns in the absence of distorted cognition concerning weight, food, and body image. Objective: To examine the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients with ARFID in comparison to those with anorexia nervosa (AN) and to a nonclinical group (NCG). Method: A descriptive, observational, comparative study made up of three groups (ARFID, AN and NCG). Ninety-nine children and adolescents were analyzed by means of a semi-structured diagnostic interview and questionnaires on depression, anxiety, clinical fears and general psychopathology. Results: The ARFID group was significantly younger (10.8 vs. 14.1 years of age), with a greater proportion of males (60.6% vs. 6.1%), an earlier onset of illness (6.2 vs. 13.4 years of age), and a longer period of evolution of the illness (61.2 vs. 8.4 months) compared to the AN group. Clinically, patients with ARFID showed greater medical (42.4% vs. 12.1%) and psychiatric (81.8% vs. 33.3%) comorbidity-assessed with a semi-structured diagnostic interviewgreater clinical fear (p < 0.005), more attention problems (p < 0.005) and fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression (p < 0.005)-measured with self-report questionnaires. Conclusions: ARFID is a serious disorder with a significant impact on the physical and mental health of the pediatric population. Likewise, some of these physical and mental conditions may be a risk factor in developing ARFID.
