abstract = {Background: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) of different levels of symptom severity may exhibit a wide range of behaviours and characteristics. There is a limited nutrition-related study on children with ASD of different severity in Malaysia. Aims: This cross-sectional study aims to determine the association between sociodemographic factors, parental factors, and lifestyle factors with autism severity in children with ASD. Methods and procedures: A total of 224 children with ASD were included in this study. Their mothers completed a self-administered questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics, autism severity, parenting style, parental feeding practices, parenting stress, child's sleep habits and eating behaviours. Outcomes and results: As high as 78.1 % of the children with ASD demonstrated a high level of autism severity. Multiple linear regression showed that father's employment status (B = 6.970, 95 % CI = 3.172, 10.768, p < 0.001) and perceived child weight (B = 3.338, 95 % CI = 1.350, 5.327},

abstract = {Raising a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a challenging for their parents. Child’s life with this disease is severely affected. Indeed, it impacts not only the child, but also parents and siblings, causing disturbances in the family. The experience of parents with an autism spectrum disorder can be distressing; they have a critical need to cope with complex situations in their lives. The presence of pervasive and severe deficits in children with ASD increases the adjusting demands of parents in their life situations, this in turn distress them deliberately and further restrict them in the ways of child rearing and to give the best of themselves. These parents are found with negative emotionality in their personality component. They end up being shattered in their interpersonal relationship and family life. Indeed, their negative emotions disturb their focus on the treatment of their ASD child. Thus, the management of ASD child incapacitates their parents to bring out the best. Therefore, there is a need for intervention of ASD with emphasis on negative emotions of these parents and affecting the parental efficacy. However, it must also be kept in mind that the improvement in the diagnosed ASD child, especially as the time and expense spent on intervention can be even more detrimental to the parents, especially with their emotional component of their personality. This proposed a new model of intervention incorporating assessment and management of parental emotionality as a part of the intervention. Further aiming at integrating this model into the current regulated system of intervention and can be a source for directing the alternative platform for further research in this regard. © 2016, Global Research Online.
