This review explores the utility of anthropometric measurements and food intake questionnaires as assessment tools for determin-ing the nutritional status of children with autism. Recognizing the unique challenges in evaluating dietary habits and nutritional adequacy in this population, the study investigates the reliability and validity of anthropometric measurements, such as height, weight, and body mass index, alongside food intake questionnaires administered to children with autism. The findings hold promise for enhancing nutritional interventions and developing targeted strategies to address the distinctive dietary preferences and sensitivities often observed in children with autism, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of their nutritional wellbeing.
