Autistic adults and food

Frances
over 1 year ago

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!

    If it wasn’t for my wife, I would eat the same things each week. I’m not a fussy eater by any means, but I know what I like and I’m quite happy to have it over and over again..which is what I’ve done for years…unless my wife serves me something else…

    My wife has been on holiday this week with my mother. I bought a pasta meatball bake thing for £4 it is meant for 4 people, it was dinner for 4 days. I often buy a packet of sausages and two tins of spaghetti hoops. That is 4 days dinner, food has never interested me, I eat because I have to.
