Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a kind of neurodevelopmental disorder. In addition to the core symptoms, food selectivity is also common in children with ASD. However, clinicians pay less attention to it. Thus,the medical staff need to know more about the food selectivity of ASD children in order to guide clinical work. In this paper, the status quo, related factors, influence and treatment progress of food selectivity in ASD children are reviewed.

Key words
