Gender Differences in Nutrient Intake Diet Quality and Mealtime Behaviors Among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (P11-105-19)

摘要

ObjectivesAs ASD is more frequently diagnosed in males than females, research findings in ASD behaviors such as diet can be biased towards male-dominant features. Gender differences needed to be further explored to develop an intervention based on gender-specific needs, if there are any. This preliminary analysis aims to investigate gender differences in nutrient intake, diet quality, and mealtime behaviors among children with ASD.
