"Selective" or "picky eating" is a frequent problem in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Many of these children do not treat sensory input, particularly olfactory, auditory, visual, and tactile information in the same manner as their typically developing peers of the same age. The purpose of this paper was to examine the relationship between problems of sensory processing and the number of eating problems in children with ASD. Of 95 children with ASD, 3 to 10 years of age, 65 percent showed a definite difference and 21 percent a probable difference in sensory processing on the total score of the Short Sensory Profile. These results were significantly related to an increase in the number of eating problems measured by the Eating Profile. These results could not be explained by age, sex, mental retardation, attention deficit disorder, or hyperactivity. Timely interventions focusing on the sensory components of eating must now be developed.
“选择性”或“挑食”是自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童中常见的问题。这些儿童中的许多人对感觉输入，尤其是嗅觉、听觉、视觉和触觉信息的处理方式与同龄发育正常的同龄人不同。本文的目的是研究感觉处理问题与ASD儿童饮食问题数量之间的关系。在95名3至10岁的ASD儿童中，65%在简短感觉概况总分的感觉处理方面表现出明显差异，21%表现出可能差异。这些结果与饮食概况所测量的饮食问题数量增加显著相关。这些结果无法用年龄、性别、智力迟钝、注意力缺陷障碍或多动来解释。现在必须制定针对饮食感觉成分的及时干预措施。
