Help needed with my sons diet

Julie78

Hi, my 11 year old son was diagnosed with Autism last year after years of waiting and assessments. 

My sons diet and the range of food he eats isn't good. He sticks to 1 - 3 meals. His "meal" at the moment is frozen cheese garlic bread. I am really struggling to get him to eat different things and wondered if anyone had any suggestions on meals I could try him with?

Thanks in advance.

  • Have you heard of AFRID, Avoidance Food Restrictive Intake Disorder? I ask as I had similar eating habits when young and was accused of being a fussy eater but was simply overwhelmed by my senses when faced with new tastes and textures. Now I am more aware and have found foods I can eat but it is still hard. I eat as healthy as I can. Eating out is a nightmare though as it is hard to find something I like but there is always soup of the day option.
