Treating an autistic person with MEFAS may yield positive results.
A trial was conducted in Spain where 105 children with ASD and 495 developing TD(tardive dyskinesia), age ranging from 6 to 9. The groups were compared.
Results: groups did not differ either in total dietary intake, food Variety Score, or Healthy Eating Index. Kids with ASD had lower saturated fatty acids and w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids intakes; their total PUFA intakes and w-6/w-3 ratios were higher compared to TD children. Both groups had low w-6 intakes, too low w-3 intakes, and high w-6/w-3 ratios.
Conclusion: more research is needed to see links between ASD symptomatology, fat-eating patterns, and overall health condition.
