Assessing Selective Eating in Autistic and Non-Autistic Young Adults

Selective eating is drive by a complex integration of sensory, biological, social, and other factors. While it is well-documented in autistic children, little is known about the nature of selective eating in young adulthood. In this study, we assess autistic and non-autistic young adults’ food preferences and experiences related to eating. Additionally, we investigate if sensory sensitivities or rigidity contributes to selective eating as well as collect information to help us understand the impact of eating experiences on mental health and well-being.
