Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition often accompanied by food selectivity, characterized by restricted food intake, strong preferences, and aversions, affecting over 70% of children with ASD. Sensory sensitivities, behavioral rigidity, and gastrointestinal issues are key contributors, often leading to nutritional deficiencies, poor growth, and stress for caregivers. This chapter explores multidisciplinary approaches, combining behavioral therapy, sensory modulation, and technology-enhanced interventions like virtual reality, AI-driven tools, and wearable devices to personalize treatments. A thorough assessment of sensory, behavioral, and medical factors is critical for effective, evidence-based interventions. Leveraging conventional and technological methods, this chapter highlights strategies to improve dietary diversity, reduce family stress, and enhance overall well-being for children with ASD.
