Autistic adults and food

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!

  • I'm not good with eating or trying new food. My digestive system is always in a state of war with the rest of the body and doesn't like food much lol. So that puts me off a bit.

    If you go to the GP you might be able to get referred to a dietician maybe. That's someone who might be able to help you with this.

    It's defos important as it can lead to unwanted health problems.
