Activity 1: Writing a Long Paraphrase
This activity consists of three steps:
1. Read the following published paragraphs and summarize them in your own words
in two to three sentences (a long paraphrase). Do not repeat every idea. Instead,
highlight important findings and accurately represent the meaning of the original.
2. Write an APA Style reference list entry for the published work using the source
information provided (see Chapter 10 in the Publication Manual for examples).
3. Figure out the in-text citation that corresponds to your reference list entry. Then
add either a parenthetical or narrative citation to your first sentence. You do not need
to re-cite the works that are already cited in the published paragraphs.
Published Paragraphs
Food selectivity is the most frequently documented and well-researched feeding
problem associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It most often involves
strong preferences for starches and snack foods, coinciding with a bias against fruits
and vegetables. Associated mealtime difficulties include disruptive mealtime behavior
(e.g., tantrums, crying), rigidity surrounding eating (e.g., only eating in a specific
location, requiring certain utensils), and avoidance of certain food items based on the
sensory characteristic (e.g., texture). Severe food selectivity in ASD most often
involves deficits in dietary variety, not volume, and children with ASD typically
consume enough food to meet gross energy needs (Sharp, Berry, et al., 2013; Sharp et
al., 2014). Because children with ASD typically consume an adequate volume of
food, this may explain why, historically, feeding concerns in ASD have been
overlooked in relation to other areas of clinical concern. The clinical picture,
however, for food selectivity in ASD is more complicated from a nutritional and
medical standpoint and requires looking beyond anthropometrics to determine the
overall impact of atypical patterns of intake, including enhanced risk for underlying
dietary insufficiencies and associated poor health outcomes (e.g., obesity).

Paraphrased sentence and parenthetical in-text citation:
Children with autism spectrum disorder are often very selective about what food they
will eat and experience difficulties during mealtimes (Burrell et al., 2019). For
example, these children may experience tantrums if they do not get the foods they
want (usually starchy foods or snack foods). Although they usually eat enough
calories, autistic children may be at greater risk for nutritional and health problems
such as obesity.
Paraphrased sentence and narrative in-text citation:
Burrell et al. (2019) discussed how children with autism spectrum disorder are often
very selective about what food they will eat and experience difficulties during
mealtimes. For example, these children may experience tantrums if they do not get the
foods they want (usually starchy foods or snack foods). Although they usually eat
enough calories, autistic children may be at greater risk for nutritional and health
problems such as obesity.
