dc.description.abstract | Parents and teachers of special needs children have frequently raised the concern of
poor dietary intake, in particular to the population concerning children with Autistic
Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Scientific literatures have explored the links of food
selectivity and refusal to poor dietary intake, although findings are lacking. Poor
nutrition can have negative impacts on health and wellbeing, which is a stark contrast
to the aims of the Scottish Governemnt's plan to include Health and Wellbeing in the
new Scottish Curriculum. Due to the heterogeneity of the ASD in terms of symptoms,
food selectivity and strict mealtime rituals it is very difficult to generalise for the whole
population. For this reason, case studies provide a foundation for investigating this
heterogeneity and develop theories in how interventions could be developed for each
individual child with ASD.
