This study assessed the utility of a Social Story intervention to improve the lunchtime eating behaviours of an adolescent diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Using an ABAB design, the Social Story program appeared to result in a decrease in the number of food and drink spills and an increase in the frequency of appropriate mouthwiping during lunch at school.
