Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects an estimated 1 in 54 children aged 8 years in the United States (Maenner MJ, Shaw KA, Baio et al., 2020). For many of these children, there are concomitant eating and/or behavioral challenges that can make managing their nutritional health challenging. This commentary responds to a particularly challenging case in which a pediatric patient with ASD presented to the local hospital's emergency department with severe weight loss and malnutrition.
据估计，美国每54名8岁儿童中就有1名患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD) (Maenner MJ, Shaw KA, Baio et al.， 2020)。对于这些孩子中的许多人来说，伴随着饮食和/或行为方面的挑战，可能会使他们的营养健康管理变得困难。这篇评论回应了一个特别具有挑战性的案例，在这个案例中，一名患有ASD的儿科患者因严重体重减轻和营养不良而被送到当地医院的急诊科。
