Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-3 (April 2021) . - p.603-612 Titre : Increased emotional eating behaviors in children with autism: Sex differences and links with dietary variety Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gregory L. WALLACE, Auteur ; Emily RICHARD, Auteur ; Alexandra WOLFF, Auteur ; Monica NADEAU, Auteur ; Nancy ZUCKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.603-612 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  eating  emotion  feeding  nutrition  sex Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although "picky" eating is well documented in autism spectrum disorder, emotional eating has rarely been investigated. This study examined emotional over- and under-eating based on parent ratings of these behaviors in 4- to 17-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (n?=?190) as compared to same-age typically developing children (n?=?119). Children with autism spectrum disorder were rated as exhibiting both more emotional over-eating and more emotional under-eating behaviors than their typically developing peers. Furthermore, while sex differences in these emotional eating behaviors were not observed in the typically developing children, girls with autism spectrum disorder were rated as experiencing more emotional over-eating behaviors than boys with autism spectrum disorder. Finally, among all children with autism spectrum disorder, emotional over-eating was linked with increased consumption of sweet foods and decreased consumption of vegetables. These findings have implications for better understanding eating habits in children with autism spectrum disorder and suggest that emotional eating behaviors might have both immediate and downstream health impacts.
