Food aversion

My daughter is 10 her diet is really bad but I give her the foods she feels safe with as otherwise she wouldn’t eat anything. I say food but it consists of Oreos, Pringles, Cheetos, mini cheddars & fries. She’s borderline diabetic due to this. I have tried multiple things to help her explore new foods. Nothing works. Any suggestions?

Hello Becky1234,

Encouraging children to eat a healthy, balanced diet can be challenging for many families, and autistic children may experience additional difficulties due to sensory sensitivities, a preference for familiar foods, or anxiety around trying new foods. The National Autistic Society (NAS) provides a helpful guide on Eating, offering practical advice and strategies to support autistic children with common eating challenges and help make mealtimes more positive. Here is the link:
