Resumen
Objective: Describe nutritional therapies and their main impacts on the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods: Se trata de una revisión integrativa, con un levantamiento bibliográfico realizado de enero de 2013 a julio de 2023 en las bases de datos: Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (BVS) y Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), utilizando los descriptores en Ciencias de la Salud (DeCS) Autismo, Terapia Nutricional y Alimentación, con el uso del operador booleano "Y". Se incluyeron artículos publicados en los idiomas portugués, inglés y español, con textos completos disponibles, y publicados en los respectivos diez años. Results: In total, 12 studies met the established inclusion criteria, making it possible to describe the impact of nutritional therapies on children with ASD and various methodologies and strategies employed to significantly improve the development of these patients through nutritional therapies. Final considerations: Although nutritional therapies demonstrate various impacts and positive results in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder, it is evident that more studies are needed to enhance the effectiveness of nutritional strategies and develop new ones, aiming to improve the quality of life of these individuals and their families.
