Hi,
I was wondering if any other autistic adults with a selective diet have any advice for trying to introduce new foods?
I am now 26 and worry that my restricted diet will affect my health, it also causes issues with my relationships and work.
Has anyone had any succces with types of therapy/the doctors or is it a case of perseverance?
Thanks!
We tend to stick to routine, The same and regular food is part of it. It frees a lot of brain processing, so you can use it to have more fun
So, it is even more important to develop healthy diet and than stick to it, and have a way of testing new foods as well. I do ''cook something new Wednesday''
I’m the same with routine and just getting the same few options in every weekly shopping delivery. But I don’t do too bad nutritionally as I usually make at least one weekly dinner a salad and I had been juicing celery daily for a time which I intend to resume soon.
