healthy life, a healthy future and growth and development. Autism and Down
syndrome are among the genetic diseases that show some similarities and
differences. Children with Down syndrome or autistic children are at risk
groups for nutrition. This research was planned to examine the nutrition styles
of children educated in Sakarya Private Educational Institution and also the
attitudes of parents to child nutrition. 30 Volunteer student’s parents were
asked 17 questions (Q1, Q2... Q17) with yes / no except demographic
information. In addition, the frequency of food items in the table of 22 food
items frequently used in the school age was questioned.Q4 (45.2% yes and 54.8%
no), Q8 (41.9% yes and 54.8% no), Q15 (32.3% yes and 67.7% no) and Q16 (3.2%
yes and 96.8% no), the rate of no answers is high compared to the answer of
yes, while the rate of yes is high in the answers of other questions. It is
considered that family members are not enough to feed on their children when
they are not satisfied with the requests of the child for meals, when the child
does not eat food with hunger, and when the child does not eat regularly every
evening. However, autistic children show a positive eating habit by eating
chips, sparkling beverages, pancake with spicy meat filling –pita type foods,
and dieting with milk and dairy products, eggs, dry legumes, bread and
macaroni. </span> <br /> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Oğuz KARABAY}
