autistic daughters limiting diet impacting health

Lots of autistic people prefer whats known as a "beige diet", nothing to contrasting flavourwise, or visually, textures are also important to many.

thank you, yes she is very sensitive to food, and I feel she has developped a big amount of anxiety over the years. she struggles with any menu change, smells, change in times of meals. her list of safe foods has become shorter and shorter as shes become older. 

Maybe her list of safe foods becoming shorter is because she's an adolescent and her tastes have changed, people go off some of the sweeter tastes of childhood and become a little more savoury, but if she's unwilling to try new foods then she won't acquire new tastes.

Have you sat down and asked her what makes something safe to eat? Not in a judgemental way but in a curious way, the answers may surprise you.
