AB  - BACKGROUND: Eating Disturbances (ED) often occur in Autism Spectrum Disorder 
      (ASD) but most previous studies have relied on parent-reported data about males 
      with ASD. Few studies have collected data from younger girls with ASD using 
      self-reports and parents' reports. AIMS: To compare self-reports and parents' 
      reports of ED in a sample of 52 young girls with ASD, a standardised scale for ED 
      was revised for use with younger girls with ASD. METHODS: Mothers of 52 girls 
      with ASD aged from 6 to 17 years completed the Swedish Eating Assessment for 
      Autism spectrum disorders (SWEAA) on their daughters; the girls also completed 
      the SWEAA as a self-report. RESULTS: The prevalence of severe ED in the sample 
      was low (about 11%). There were minimal significant differences between mothers' 
      and daughters' SWEAA responses across most SWEAA subscales. Deletion of several 
      of the original SWEAA items produced a scale that can be used as a self-report or 
      a carer-report with young girls with ASD. CONCLUSION: The clinical assessment of 
      ED via self- or parent reports is suggested as a pathway to identify girls with 
      ASD who also exhibit ED so that adequate treatment planning can be developed for 
      them.
