Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

58
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

44
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Binge Eating Disorders01:23

Binge Eating Disorders

47
Binge eating disorder is a significant mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive food consumption within a short period, accompanied by a perceived loss of control over eating behavior. Unlike occasional overeating, binge eating disorder is marked by distressing emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety following binge episodes. The disorder affects individuals across different ages and backgrounds, with profound implications for physical and psychological...

Summary

This review identifies common tools for assessing eating behaviors in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI) and Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) are frequently used and show good psychometric properties.

Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Behavioral Science
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Eating behaviors are frequently atypical in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
  • Accurate assessment tools are crucial for understanding and intervening in these behaviors.
  • A comprehensive overview of existing assessment tools is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically identify and summarize the tools used to assess eating behaviors in individuals with ASD.
  • To analyze the distribution, citation rates, journal publication, and psychometric properties of these tools.
  • To provide insights into the current landscape of eating behavior assessment in ASD research.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted across major scientific databases (Medline/PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, SciELO, Web of Science).
  • Search terms focused on Autism Spectrum Disorder and eating behaviors, with a filter for articles published in the last five years.
  • Thirty-seven relevant studies were analyzed to extract data on assessment tools and their characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-seven studies were identified, with the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders publishing the most research.
  • The Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI) was the most utilized tool (15 studies), followed by the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) (8 studies).
  • Both BAMBI (α=0.88) and BPFAS (α=0.82) demonstrated strong psychometric properties, including good internal consistency.

Conclusions:

  • Most instruments for assessing eating behavior in ASD exhibit satisfactory psychometric properties.
  • BAMBI and BPFAS are widely adopted but have limitations regarding age range applicability.
  • Further research may be needed to develop or refine tools that cover broader age spans.
