Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a fivefold increased risk of developing a feeding problem compared to peers. Food selectivity is the most widely documented feeding concern in ASD. However, it does not frequently correspond with compromised gross anthropometric parameters (i.e., height, weight, and body mass index) likely to trigger attention in pediatric settings. Poor dietary diversity is associated with increased risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and diet-related diseases. This chapter reviews the current state of the science regarding the prevalence, topography, consequences, and remediation of feeding problems in ASD. Food selectivity is differentiated from other eating disorders, with a specific focus on exploring the possible link between ASD and anorexia nervosa. A framework to guide the assessment and treatment process is provided, and current treatment approaches are reviewed. The chapter concludes with recommendations to enhance the evidence base to promote development of best standards of care.

Feeding disorders, characterized by suboptimal intake and/or lack of age-appropriate eating habits, are common and may be seen in up to 45% of children. Feeding disorders are a significant concern to both the affected families and to the providers who treat them. Fortunately, there are well-established behavioral treatments which have been shown to be highly efficacious. This article provides an overview of behavioral assessment and treatment of pediatric feeding disorders, provides guidance in treatment planning, and provides information which may be useful in considering if additional psychological consultation may be beneficial.
