References for Diet and Disabilities

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often exhibit atypical eating behaviors, including picky eating and a preference for highly processed foods, which can increase their risk for obesity and eating disorders. Various dietary interventions have been explored to help manage these eating habits and certain ASD-associated behaviors, including:
- Nonceliac gluten sensitivity diet
- Ketogenic diet
- Vegetarian diet

Nutrition Psychology 

There are a variety of motives that play into the dietary choices of adolescents.  Some of these are health motives, self-control, internal motives, and external/social motives.

Adolescents' Attitudes Towards Healthy Eating

While there is much debate about whether depression is primarily caused by psychological or biochemical processes, there is a third viewpoint emerging: depression may be heavily linked to nutritional deficits.  There are four potential links: blood sugar imbalances, lack of amino acids, lack of B vitamins, and lack of essential fats.

The relationship between depression and nutrition

Limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways.

Food Insecurity

Highly processed food intake results in alterations in positive and negative emotions immediately and up to 1 h after intake; however, these do not persist through 3 h after intake. The ability of highly processed foods to alter emotions may be critical to their reinforcing nature.

Emotional Experiences following Highly Processed Food Intake

What a person eats can have effects on many different aspects of their wellbeing. Researchers have determined that how an individual feels can be a result of the food they have eaten.

Foods Relationship With Wellbeing

Feeding and Eating Disorders are characterized by persistent changes to eating or eating-related behaviors that result in altered consumption or absorption of food, significantly impairing an individual’s physical health and/or psychosocial functioning. 

Feeding and Eating Disorders

Health psychology research on nutrition examines how psychological health and diet influence each other. Major areas of study include eating disorders, eating habits and behaviors, relationships between food and emotions, and food insecurity.
