Autistic adults and food

Frances

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!

    It sounds basic, but I think you could just introduce a new food once a week. It doesn’t need to be a whole meal, just a new item. Pair it with a usual meal, or try some before or after. A mouthful even. Just go as far and as much as you are capable of. 
    New routines can be made. I’ve adjusted some over the years.
