Is Your Child a Picky Eater?

Kids with autism can be highly picky when it comes to eating. Here’s what you can do about it ⬇️

It’s common for children on the spectrum to be picky eaters. In fact, an estimated 46 to 89 percent of them have feeding problems.

Various factors contribute to food aversion, including rigidity, sensory problems, problems swallowing, oral-motor delays, and behaviour at the table. To address mealtime issues, you can help your child by offering food choices, letting them play with food to familiarise themselves with textures, allowing child-led eating, and involving them in the food preparation process.
