Abstract
An estimated 1% of the global population is believed to be autistic. Clinical focus is often on interventions that target social functioning, sensory processing and communication. Dietary interventions are often explored as a means of targeting these core symptoms. However, research findings are often inconclusive due to small sample sizes. This commentary article critically examines a meta-analysis focused on dietary interventions, including omega-3, vitamins and other supplements, in the management of autism. It evaluates the studies' findings and contextualises its implications for clinical nursing practice.
