Abstract

The goal of this study is to describe the feeding behavior in children with autism spectrum disorders.  Feeding problems may have a significant impact on the child’s growth, development, and opportunities for social and community participation. The MCH-Feeding Scale is an easy method that can be used for evaluation behavioral feeding problems. There is clear difference in the behavior feeding among ASD children and TD children. The MCH-Feeding Scale is an easy method that can be used for evaluation behavioral feeding problems.
