| ABSTRACT This paper examines the role of nutrition in managing symptoms and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Nutrition is crucial in addressing ASD symptoms, and this study investigates the impact of dietary patterns and nutritional interventions on autism. Our research reveals that certain dietary approaches, such as omega-3 supplementation and a balanced intake of vitamins and minerals, show potential benefits, though the evidence remains mixed due to methodological issues in many studies. The findings emphasize the need for personalized nutritional assessments and interventions tailored to the unique needs of individuals with ASD. In conclusion, integrating nutritional strategies into the comprehensive care plans for individuals with ASD could be beneficial, and there is a critical need for more rigorous, large-scale studies to solidify these findings. Health practitioners should consider these nutritional strategies as part of holistic care, while ongoing research should continue to explore this promising area with more robust methodologies. | ||||
