Abstract
Children with autism often have restrictive diets. Here, we report an adolescent with autism who developed dietary vitamin A deficiency because of a restrictive diet. Despite supplementation with vitamin A, some of the visual loss was permanent with optic atrophy. Children with autism who have restrictive diets may need periodic serum vitamin levels assessed.Entities:
