Abstract
To document the clinical presentation of scurvy in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and summarize the contemporary approaches to assessment and management in this population. Scurvy is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency most often detected in populations at high risk for nutrition insufficiency (e.g., extreme poverty). Children with ASD and severe food selectivity consistent with avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder may also be at risk for scurvy.
