[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would someone with ASD be likely to be obese, per the study cited above???[/quote] Lack of exercise and poor eating habits. People with ASD aren't the best about doing things they don't like. They often don't participate in group sports. They are frequently clumsy and avoid solo sports. Parents have a hard time directing ASD kids to sports that might work for them. (Swimming and cross-country are often ideal.) People with ASD also often eat an unbalanced diet and have poor self-care skills. If they feel like eating nothing but mashed potatoes and potato chips, that's what they'll do.[/quote]
