Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face many challenges, including feeding problems due to behavioral issues and food aversions. Therefore, pediatric nurse practitioners need to assess for different mineral deficiencies, including iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The following case study describes a 4-year-old with ASD with persistent IDA despite typical recommendation of oral iron supplementation. Other potential etiologies of IDA are reviewed. Finally, different management approaches for managing IDA in children with ASD are described.
