There are few articles that describe the feeding problems that are common in children with autism. This review article describes early feeding problems and failure to thrive in children who go on to have autism. The author suggests that there is a connection between growth, feeding problems, and problems with brain development.

The author suggests that there is a need for a novel therapeutic approach to early feeding problems in children who may be at risk for autism.
