Cihon and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been estimated that 70% to 90% of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience mealtime challenges (Volkert & Vaz, 2010). Most approaches to the treatment of mealtime challenges have focused on decreasing interfering mealtime behaviors through escape extinction (i.e., requiring consumption of food prior to meal termination) and other approaches that may be perceived as punitive by parents, individuals diagnosed with ASD, and other stakeholders. In recent years, there has been an increase in research on promoting enjoyable mealtimes for individuals diagnosed with ASD and their families. The purpose of this edited book is to provide a comprehensive review of these approaches for improving mealtime behaviors for individuals diagnosed with ASD, provide clinical recommendations for improving mealtime behaviors, and identify areas for future research.

Many children diagnosed on the Autism spectrum experience communication and social struggles; as well as sensory related difficulties. Some children’s inappropriate behaviors are related to specific events, such as mealtime which can be particularly challenging. This study examines the difficulties parents experience during mealtime with their children on the Autism Spectrum and the emotional affect mealtime behaviors have on the parent. In addition, the purpose of this study was to determine whether parents desire additional information that would assist them during mealtimes. Twenty-four participants participated in completing a survey which included various questions surrounding mealtime behaviors and routines, as well as questions pertaining to the emotional effect on the parents. Results revealed verbal protest as the most prominent behavior displayed during mealtime.

Book excerpt: Autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong developmental disorder that includes differences or challenges in social communication skills, fine and gross motor skills, speech, and intellectual ability. Symptoms and severity vary widely. Most cases are diagnosed in childhood and last throughout life. And while there is no established cure for autism, behavioral, educational, and family therapy may help reduce symptoms and build skills. The signs and symptoms of autism become most evident between the ages of two and three, but some cases have seen patients diagnosed as early as eighteen months old.Symptoms and their severity may vary from patient to patient, but there are quite a few common signs and symptoms of autistic patients. They may have difficulties with relationships and social interactions, including having trouble making eye contact, with their body language, lack of empathy, and lack of interest in the same hobbies as their peers. There may also experience a lot of struggles with verbal and nonverbal communication. It has been reported that up to forty percent of patients with autism never speak.Other signs and symptoms include an increased focus on certain pieces instead of the whole, preoccupation with specific topics, routines, and stereotyped behaviors.Though the disorder brings challenges, a diagnosis also often highlights an individual's unique strengths. It is important to know that autism is neither a mental illness nor a condition that gets worse over time. In fact, most people with autism become better able to manage life with their condition, particularly with intensive treatment.
