Abstract

Date Presented 4/18/2015

Selective eating in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with many behavioral and psychosocial factors, both in children and their parents. We explored differences in child-specific and contextual factors between children with ASD and selective eating and those without, as well as associations among variables.
