Core Tip This scoping review explored food selectivity in autism spectrum disorder. Two main themes emerged: Eating behaviour (e.g. food refusal) during meals and sensory processing, in particular the smell, texture, taste, colour and temperature of food. Children with ASD have greater food selectivity than children with typical development and this makes them nutritionally vulnerable.
