description Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental disorders with three main characteristics: communication disorder, social interaction disorder and repetitive disorders and of the latter, repetitive behaviors are those that influence eating. The purpose of the present work was to analyze the food preferences and behaviors of children and adolescents from 4 to 18 years old with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the department of Colón in the province of Córdoba and the town of Santa Rosa in the province of La Pampa, in the year 2021. Descriptive, cross-sectional study, non-probabilistic, intentional or convenience sampling, applying snowball technique. n= 34. Inclusion criteria: Boys/girls and adolescents between 5 and 18 years of age with a certified diagnosis of ASD who reside in the Colón department of the Province of Córdoba or the town of Santa Rosa in the Province of La Pampa, in 2021. No added pathologies and that they are not under special dietary treatment. Grant consent to participate (by father, mother or guardian). Instrument: Ad-Hoc questionnaire, structured and self-administered, not validated, with closed answers of one or several options. Data analysis with SPSS 26. Sample= 34 subjects. 83% male and ages between 5 and 18 years. The most preferred food groups were fatty and sweet foods (X= 3.84), dairy (X= 3.54), meat and eggs (X= 3.25), fruits (X= 2.95) and less preferably vegetables, cereals and legumes. The predominant eating behavior was food selectivity according to texture and flavor of food (texture= crunchy-crunchy and flavor= sweet). The preference for cereal consumption is mainly baked goods and gluten-containing flours. The children and adolescents with ASD who were part of this study presented food selectivity linked to organoleptic characteristics, with a high preference for foods with high energy density and a low preference for vegetables, legumes and cereals. The food-nutritional approach of people with ASD, including the Nutritionist in interdisciplinary therapeutic teams, is essential to achieve comprehensive care and guarantee the proper growth and development of children and adolescents.

El Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) es un grupo heterogéneo de trastornos del neurodesarrollo con tres características principales: alteración de comunicación, trastorno de interacción social y trastornos repetitivos y de estos ultimos las conductas repetitivas son las que influyen en la alimentación. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar las preferencias y comportamientos alimentarios de niños, niñas y adolescentes de 4 a 18 años con diagnóstico de Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) del departamento de Colón de la provincia de Córdoba y la localidad Santa Rosa de la provincia de La Pampa, en el año 2021. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, transversal, muestreo no probabilístico, intencional o por conveniencia, aplicando técnica de bola de nieve. n= 34. Criterios de inclusión: Niños/niñas y adolescentes de 5 y 18 años con diagnóstico de TEA certificado que residen en departamento Colón de Provincia de Córdoba o la localidad Santa Rosa de Provincia de La Pampa, en año 2021.  Sin patologías agregadas y que no se encuentren bajo tratamiento dietético especial. Otorgar el consentimiento a participar (por padre, madre o tutor). Instrumento: cuestionario Ad-Hoc, estructurado y autoadministrado, no validado, con respuestas cerradas de una o varias opciones. Análisis datos con SPSS 26. Muestra= 34 sujetos. El 83% sexo masculino y edades comprendidas entre 5 y 18 años. Grupos de alimentos de mayor preferencia fueron alimentos grasos y dulces (X= 3,84), lácteos (X= 3,54), carnes y huevos (X= 3,25), frutas (X= 2,95) y de menor preferencia vegetales, cereales y legumbres. El comportamiento alimentario predominante fue selectividad alimentaria según textura y sabor de alimentos (textura= crujiente-crocante y sabor= dulce), La preferencia de consumo de cereales es principalmente panificados y harinas con glúten.  Los niños/as y adolescentes con TEA que integraron el presente estudio presentaron selectividad alimentaria vinculada a caracteres organolépticos, con una alta preferencia por alimentos de alta densidad energética y baja preferencia de vegetales, legumbres y cereales. El abordaje alimentario-nutricional de las personas con TEA, con inclusión del Nutricionista en equipos interdisciplinarios teraputicos es fundamental para lograr una atención integral y garantizar el crecimiento y desarrollo adecuado de niños/as y adolescentes. .
