Summary

This study tested a program called Autism Eats, designed to help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) eat more fruits and vegetables and try new foods. The program was offered through early intervention services for children up to 36 months old. Researchers compared the program to standard care to see if it improved diet quality and reduced mealtime behavior problems.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children should be enrolled in the early intervention (EI) service and diagnosed with ASD determined by clinical assessment such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) or another validated evaluation tool (e.g., Gilliam Autism Rating Scale, GARS-3), if available, or be at-risk/monitored for ASD with a pending diagnosis at the time of screening. Children birth to 36 months are eligible for the EI services, and therefore, age of our research participants will range from birth to 36 months. The ASD diagnosis verification process occurs in two steps: (1) during screening; and (2) at the 5-month follow up assessment, taking into consideration the pending diagnosis at screening and potential changes in diagnosis status due to the young age of the children. * Both the child and the parent should be available during the EI service time. * Parents should be 18 years or older and speak fluent English and/or Spanish Exclusion Criteria: * Children who are on exclusive breastfeeding, medicines that may interact with appetite and food consumption, having severe GI conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, diagnosed with feeding disorders or severe food selectivity (consuming fewer than 5 food items), or other serious medical comorbidities such as cancer. * Children who are receiving the EI service at a daycare setting or other than home setting. * Parent and child with ASD who have previously participated in a similar nutrition intervention study will also be excluded. * Parent's first language is not English or Spanish.
