“…It is unknown whether such an age effect also exists in children with ASD, but it seems that this may be much less the case. For instance, the validation study of the BAMBI by Castro et al ( 2019 ) with a large sample of children between ages 7 and 11 years, did not show any age effect. The effect of age was also non-significant in the study of Leiva-García et al ( 2019 ) on the association between feeding problems and oral health status in children with ASD between the ages of 6 and 18 years.…”

Feeding problems are prevalent in children with ASD. We investigated whether the Montreal Children’s Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS, Ramsay et al. in Pediatrics and Child Health 16:147–151, 2011) can be used for young children with ASD. Participants (1–6 years) were selected from a clinical ASD sample (n = 80) and a general population sample (n = 1389). Internal consistency was good in both samples. In general, parents of children with ASD reported more feeding problems than those from the population sample. The response patterns on the individual items was highly similar. There was a slight increase in symptoms with age in the population sample, but not in the ASD sample. These results suggest that the MCH-FS can be used in populations that include children with ASD.

“… 23 , 24 However, studies that specifically investigated the eating behavior of individuals with ASD indicates that it can be better investigated through instruments that address their behavioral diversity. 23 , 24 , 25 However, four studies were found that showed specific instruments to assess the eating behavior of children, young adults, and adults with ASD: two were performed in the United States, one in Sweden, and one in Canada. 26 Until the planning of the current research, no studies had been found on the validation of these instruments for other populations, such as the Brazilian population.…”

“…The highest correlation coefficient was found between the total score in ASD-MBQ and SPQ (r = 0.741, p < 0.001). Castro et al investigated the correlation coefficient between the SPQ and the BAMBI scores for children with ASD and found a moderate correlation (r = -0.38, p < 0.001) in total scores [ 15 ]. This suggested that feeding problem may be related to the sensory proceeding pattern in the children with ASD [ 16 ].…”

Convergent validity of the Autism Spectrum Disorder Mealtime Behavior Questionnaire (ASD-MBQ) for children with autism spectrum disorder

et al. 2022

There was a growing interest in difficulties with eating as one of the most problematic symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this study is to examine the convergent validity of the Autism Spectrum Disorder Mealtime Behavior Questionnaire (ASD-MBQ) with the Asahide’s test for social adjustment skills, the Japanese version of the short version of the sensory profile questionnaire, the Japanese version of the Social Communication Questionnaire, and the Parenting Strain Index in Japanese children with ASD. The final sample contained 294 children who were diagnosed as the ASD based on the DSM-5 criteria, the mean age of children was 10 ± 4 years (range: 3–18 years). The ASD-MBQ is a questionnaire that comprised of 42 items that are classified into five subdomains: selective eating, clumsiness/manners, interest in/concentration on eating, oral-motor function, and overeating. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient revealed that the ASD-MBQ showed the moderate to high correlation coefficient with all four external criteria. Our results in this study supported the sufficient convergent validity in the ASD-MBQ. Therefore, the ASD-MBQ could be a useful tool for research and practice in a wide range of children with ASD aged 3 to 18.
