The systematic search yielded 17 prospective studies involving a comparison group. Using rigorous meta-analysis techniques, we calculated the standardized mean difference (SMD) with standard error and corresponding odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI). Results indicated children with ASD experienced significantly more feeding problems versus peers, with an overall SMD of 0.89 (0.08) and a corresponding OR of 5.11, 95 % CI 3.74–6.97. Nutrient analyses indicated significantly lower intake of calcium (SMD: ?0.65 [0.29]; OR: 0.31, 95 % CI 0.11–0.85) and protein (SMD: ?0.58 [0.25]; OR: 0.35, 95 % CI: 0.14–0.56) in ASD. Future research must address critical questions regarding the cause, long-term impact, and remediation of atypical feeding in this population.

Multi-method assessment of feeding problems among children with autism spectrum disorders / William G. SHARP in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-1 (January 2013) . - p.56-65 Titre : Multi-method assessment of feeding problems among children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : William G. SHARP, Auteur ; David L. JAQUESS, Auteur ; Colleen TAYLOR LUKENS, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.56-65 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assessment  Autism  Children  Diet  Feeding  Food selectivity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Estimates suggest that atypical eating is pervasive among children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD); however, much remains unknown regarding the nature and prevalence of feeding problems in this population due to methodological limitations, including lack of adequate assessment methods and empirical evaluation of existing measures. In the current study, a sample of 30 children ages 3–8 years completed a multi-method assessment battery involving a standardized mealtime observation, a food preference inventory, and the Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI), which represents the first attempt to assess the correspondence between direct observation and parent-report measures of feeding concerns and dietary intake in ASD. During the mealtime observation, fourteen participants either rejected (n = 8) or accepted (n = 6) all bites, while the remaining 16 participants demonstrated selective patterns of acceptance by type and/or texture. Among this subgroup, vegetables were the most frequently rejected food type during the behavioral observation. Vegetables were also the most frequently rejected food based on parent report for the sample. Increased food selectivity was positively correlated with problem behaviors during the observation, while ASD symptom severity and growth parameters were unrelated to feeding data. We discuss findings in relation to clinical and research activities and recommend strategies to achieve more systematic research in this area.

A Retrospective Chart Review of Dietary Diversity and Feeding Behavior of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Before and After Admission to a Day-Treatment Program / William G. SHARP in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 26-1 (March 2011)

SHARP, Auteur ; David L. JAQUESS, Auteur ; Jane F. MORTON, Auteur ; Aida G. MILES, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.37-48 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The nutritional status and mealtime performance among a group of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) were examined before and after admission to an intensive feeding day-treatment program. Treatment involved escape extinction, reinforcement, and stimulus fading procedures. Outcomes focused on dietary diversity and mealtime performance, including acceptance, swallowing, and disruptive mealtime behaviors. Upon admission, participants exhibited severely restricted diets, low rates of acceptance and swallowing, and high rates of disruptive mealtime behavior. Following treatment, significant improvements regarding food variety, consumption, and appropriate mealtime behavior were demonstrated. Gains were maintained after caregiver training was conducted and caregivers were introduced as the primary feeders.

The Autism MEAL Plan: A parent-training curriculum to manage eating aversions and low intake among children with autism / William G. SHARP in Autism, 18-6 (August 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 18-6 (August 2014) . - p.712-722 Titre : The Autism MEAL Plan: A parent-training curriculum to manage eating aversions and low intake among children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : William G. SHARP, Auteur ; T Lindsey BURRELL, Auteur ; David L. JAQUESS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.712-722 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  food selectivity  intervention  mealtime problems  parent training  pediatric feeding disorders Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Feeding problems represent a frequent concern reported by caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorders, and growing evidence suggests atypical patterns of intake may place this population at risk of nutritional and/or related medical issues, including chronic vitamin and mineral deficiencies, poor bone growth, and obesity. This combination of factors emphasizes a clear need to identify and disseminate evidence-based treatment of feeding problems associated with autism spectrum disorders. Behavioral intervention represents an effective treatment for chronic feeding concerns in this population; however, evidence has largely been established with trained therapists working in highly structured settings. This pilot study seeks to fill this gap in the literature by describing and evaluating the Autism MEAL Plan, a behaviorally based parent-training curriculum to address feeding problems associated with autism spectrum disorders. We assessed the feasibility of the intervention in terms of program content and study protocol (e.g. recruitment and retention of participants, assessment procedures), as well as efficacy in terms of changes in feeding behaviors. A total of 10 families participated in the treatment condition, and the program was evaluated using a waitlist control design (n = 9), representing the first randomized-control study of a feeding intervention in autism spectrum disorders. Results provide provisional support regarding the utility of the program, including high social validity, parent perception of effectiveness, and reduced levels of caregiver stress following intervention. Implications, limitations, and future directions for this line of research are discussed.
