Evaluating the nutritional status of children with ASD is crucial for families or caregivers to manage their feeding. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the eating behaviors and dietary intake between children with ASD and children with ASD + SID. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 72 children with ASD aged 6\u201315 years, of whom 36 also had SID. Sociodemographic information and dietary habits of children were collected. The children\u2019s body weight and height were measured. Children\u2019s eating behaviors were assessed using the Children\u2019s Eating Behavior Scale. Dietary intake was obtained using 3-day food consumption records. Results: The rate of overweight was higher in children with ASD compared to children with ASD + SID, but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p &gt; 0.05). Children with ASD + SID were more likely to skip main meals than children with ASD (p &lt; 0.05). Children with ASD + SID had significantly lower dietary reference intake levels of energy, macronutrients, fiber, PUFAs, vitamin E, B1, B6, folate, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron compared to children with ASD (p &lt; 0.05). Increased scores on the drinking passion subscale were identified as a risk factor for SID (OR = 2.15, 95% CI [1.30, 4.30], p = 0.005). Conclusions: The higher frequency of skipping main meals, significantly lower energy and nutrient intake in the ASD + SID group indicates that these children are at higher nutritional risk. Incorporating sensory-based assessments and interventions into nutritional management may be crucial.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children13040478","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]],"date-time":"2026-03-30T13:40:52Z","timestamp":1774878052000},"page":"478","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Eating Behaviors and Energy and Nutrient Intakes in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder with and Without Sensory Integration Difficulties"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0702-0878","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G\u00f6zde","family":"Ede \u0130leri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 Karatekin University, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 18100, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1524-0651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yeliz","family":"Serin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, \u00c7ukurova University, Adana 01330, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3798-4827","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pelin","family":"Ak\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Faculty of Science, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 Karatekin University, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 18100, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yusuf","family":"Ata\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 Karatekin University, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 18100, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-6739-5361","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sude","family":"\u00c7\u0131nar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 Karatekin University, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 18100, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association (2013).
