虽然临床医生通常认为喂养问题与自闭症的诊断共存，但以前没有研究将自闭症儿童的饮食行为与正常发育儿童进行比较。本研究采用标准化问卷调查，比较自闭症儿童与非自闭症儿童的照顾者对饮食问题的报告。调查问卷包括有关食物拒绝和接受模式以及食物呈现要求的项目。照顾者还被要求完成一份食物清单，说明每个食物组中儿童和家庭所吃的食物数量。结果表明，自闭症儿童有明显更多的喂养问题，吃的食物范围明显比非自闭症儿童窄。
Although clinicians typically assume that feeding problems co-exist with a diagnosis of autism, no previous research has compared the eating behavior of children with autism to typically developing children. This study compared caregiver report of eating problems of children with and without autism on a standardized questionnaire. The questionnaire included items pertaining to food refusal and acceptance patterns as well as food presentation requirements. Caregivers were also asked to complete a food inventory that indicated the number of foods eaten within each food group for both the child and the family. Results indicated children with autism have significantly more feeding problems and eat a significantly narrower range of foods than children without autism.
