Anak Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) dengan patologi usus hipersensitifitas terhadap makanan atau leaky gut seringkali menunjukkan defisiensi vitamin dan mineral diantaranya tidak tercukupinya kebutuhan vitamin A dan C dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Salah satu cara penanganan anak ASD adalah dengan memberikan suplemen vitamin A dan C. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kecenderungan atau pengaruh penggunaan suplemen vitamin A dan C terhadap perilaku anak ASD. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah case study dengan mengamati perubahan perilaku pada lima kasus ASD yang menggunakan suplemen vitamin A dan C. Penilaian perilaku dilakukan dengan menggunakan Applied Behavioral Analysis. Hasil menunjukkan pada semua kasus menunjukkan konsumsi vitamin A dan C sebagai hasil suplemen vitamin. Pada satu kasus dengan absorbsi vitamin A dan C yang rendah karena kurangnya konsumsi lemak dan protein menunjukkan perilaku yang kurang. Empat kasus lain menunjukkan perilaku yang lebih baik.Kata Kunci: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), perilaku, vitamin A, vitamin CDownloads
