Dairy free alternatives for autistic adults

NAS61670

Does anyone here now any cheap, sensory friendly  dairy alternatives for anyone with autism. My friend just like me has autism and (unlike me) is lactose intolerant, she only has a small income. She's stuggling both mentally and physically from this lack of finances for dairy free products. She desperately needs more alternatives. Any know what she can do ?

    Not sure of the connection between autism and lactose-intolerance.  However, I use Aldi Soya Drink (apple juice sweetened) in place of dairy milk.  59p a litre is about as cheap as you'll get, and it tastes pretty good to me.

    You can buy dairy-free cheeses in health food shops, but they're not cheap.  Also, there are plenty of dairy-free sweet things around: puddings, chocolate, ice cream (Swedish Glace is dairy-free and delicious), snack bars, etc.  Vitalite margarine is dairy-free and is £1.20 a tub in Morrison's.
