Support and development of autistic children with selective eating habits

We provided 3 special diets to 40 preschool children with autism at lunchtime and detected improvements in diet-related issues in almost all of the children. The children fell into the following 3 groups: those who selected their diet based on: group1  = sensory factors; group2 = visual appearance of foods; and group3 = familiar foods. To identify effective support, we performed developmental and sensory assessments of each group retrospectively.
