Autism and food

B

Reading the responses to the various food threads on the forum has reinforced the fact that many of us eat a restricted diet.

Although my diet is more varied than when I was a child, I have considered whether I would be diagnosed with ARFID.

This is an informative article, for information:

  • I have the opposite - there are few foods I can't eat. I wish I was 'restricted' as my weight keeps increasing despite diabetes meds. I don't mind eating the same thing 5 days in a row, if I've made a large quantity. And I have times when I take a dislike to something I've eaten over a long period, then I can't face this food for a long time. - so these are a sort of dietrary fad I suppose.
