“…Thus, further studies with a larger sample and prospective follow-up study is needed. However, our results demonstrated that it might be possible to improve the state of the nervous system development in patients with ASD by altering the food intake of children with ASD, thus interfering in a positive manner with the composition of the gut microbiota [19][20][21].…”

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and clinical characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) associated to the stable state of the gut microbiota. Methods: A total of 9 children with ASD and 6 healthy children used as control were selected and feces samples were collected from all of them. The 16S gene ribosomal RNA sequencing was used to analyze the difference in gut microbiota between healthy control children and ASD patients. Results: The results of 16S sequencing based on operational taxonomic units (OTUs) analysis showed that the ASD group and the healthy control (HC) group had a large difference in the abundance of microbiota at the level of family, genus and species. The abundance of Bacteroidales and Selenomonadales was significantly lower in the ASD group than in the HC group (p = 0.0110 and p = 0.0076, respectively). The abundance of Ruminococcaceae in the ASD group was higher than that in the HC group (p = 0.0285), while the amount of Prevotellaceae was significantly lower in the ASD group than in the HC group (p = 0.0111). The Tax4Fun analysis based on Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) data indicated differentially expressed functional pathway between the ASD group and healthy control group associated to the nervous system, environmental information processing and cellular processing. Conclusions: The abundance of gut microbiota in the ASD group is different from that in the healthy control children. These differences affect the biological function of the host. These results suggest that a disorder in the gut microbiota may be associated, at least in part, with ASD in children.

“…Researchers have also combined differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors with the use of shaping or fading procedures and demonstrated increases in feeding behaviors and acceptance (Johnson & Babbitt, 1993; Koegel et al., 2012; Luiselli, 2000; Riordan, Iwata, Wohl, & Finney, 1980). Also, through the use of sequential or simultaneous presentations of high preference and low preference foods, researchers have been able to increase food acceptance (Hodges, Davis, Crandall, Phipps, & Weston, 2017; Meier, Fryling, & Wallace, 2012; Trejo & Fryling, 2018). Each of these studies demonstrated increases in feeding behaviors without the use of escape extinction or other intrusive interventions.…”

Restrictive and avoidant patterns of eating behavior can be seen in children with and without a diagnosed disability, and these patterns may then lead to avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. The three main categories of feeding problems often observed in children are food refusal, refusal to self‐feed, and food selectivity. This literature review includes 21 articles that implemented feeding interventions, without the use of escape extinction or other intrusive interventions, to increase food acceptance. Each article was analyzed across several dimensions (participants, setting, assessments conducted, experimental design, intervention implemented, and outcome and generalization). From this analysis, information regarding the use of antecedent and reinforcement‐based practices for feeding intervention is discussed, as well as limitations in the current literature and suggestions for future research.
