Atypical eating behaviors in children and adolescents with autism, ADHD, other disorders, and typical development / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 64 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 64 (August 2019) . - p.76-83 Titre : Atypical eating behaviors in children and adolescents with autism, ADHD, other disorders, and typical development Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Susan DICKERSON MAYES, Auteur ; Hana ZICKGRAF, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.76-83 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Atypical eating behaviors  Picky eating  Limited food preferences  Autism  ADHD  Typical development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Previous research has not yet examined the prevalence of atypical eating behaviors in children and adolescents with autism compared to those with ADHD, other disorders, and typical development. Method: The sample comprised 2102 children: 1462 with autism, 327 with other disorders (e.g., ADHD, intellectual disability, language disorder, and learning disability), and 313 typical children, 1–18 years of age (mean 7.3). Atypical eating behaviors were assessed with the Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder based on a standardized parent interview conducted by licensed psychologists. Results: Atypical eating behaviors were significantly more common in autism (70.4%) than in children with other disorders (13.1%) and typical children (4.8%). For children with autism who had atypical eating behaviors, the most common behavior was limited food preferences (88%), followed by hypersensitivity to food textures (46%), other peculiar patterns most often eating only one brand of food (27%), pocketing food without swallowing (19%), and pica (12%). Grain products and/or chicken (usually nuggets) were the preferred foods for 92% of children with autism who had limited food preferences. For children with autism who had atypical eating behaviors, 25% had three or more atypical eating behaviors (vs. 0% for children with other disorders or typical development). Only children with autism had pica or pocketed food. Conclusions: The number and types of atypical eating behaviors found only in children with autism and not in children with other disorders or typical development should alert clinicians to the possibility of autism and the need to evaluate for autism in order to facilitate early identification and access to evidence-based treatment.

Screening for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Symptoms Among Autistic Adults: Measurement Invariance With a Comparison General Sample / Goldie A. MCQUAID ; Gregory L. WALLACE ; Hana F. ZICKGRAF in Autism Research, 18-7 (July 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 18-7 (July 2025) . - p.1381-1388 Titre : Screening for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Symptoms Among Autistic Adults: Measurement Invariance With a Comparison General Sample Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Goldie A. MCQUAID, Auteur ; Gregory L. WALLACE, Auteur ; Hana F. ZICKGRAF, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1381-1388 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  autism spectrum disorder  avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder  general population  measurement invariance Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Research suggests a higher prevalence of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in autistic people across the lifespan compared to the general population. However, ARFID symptoms in autistic people may be misattributed to core autistic traits and gastrointestinal symptoms that often co-occur with autism. This diagnostic overshadowing could lead to the under-recognition and under-treatment of modifiable symptoms of psychopathology in autistic people. Validating ARFID symptom measures in this population is essential to screening for ARFID and tracking treatment outcomes in this population. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the equivalence of the factor structure, factor loadings, and item intercepts of the Nine-Item ARFID Screen (NIAS) between a sample of autistic adults (n 248) who self-disclosed their diagnosis and a comparison general sample (n 398). There was support for strong measurement invariance (configural, metric, and scalar) on the NIAS. Autistic adults scored significantly higher on each of the three subscales: selective eating (d 0.54), appetite impairment (d 0.27), and fear-driven avoidance of eating (d 0.37). The NIAS is a valid instrument for measuring ARFID symptomatology in autistic adults. Autistic adults experience elevated symptomatology across all three ARFID eating restrictions. Future research should address whether evidence-based ARFID treatments are efficacious for autistic adults or need to be modified.
