What should I be aware of when trying new foods? Am I ready to
change my eating patterns? How can I eat with other people? Food
can come with all sorts of challenges - sensory issues, social
pressure, loss of control - and so making choices about what foods
to eat, and coping with mealtimes can be stressful - especially
when other people are involved. If you are neurodivergent and
looking to change your relationship with food, this interactive,
accessible guide is the perfect companion. You might stick to the
same 'safe' foods all the time, be attached to specific mealtime
rituals, or struggle to know whether you are hungry or full. This
guide will help you recognise the signs of avoidant eating, cope
with food related anxieties and manage sensory overload, as well as
the particular social stresses of communal eating. With top tips, a
progress tracker, quizzes and worksheets, this is an engaging and
informative resource for teens and parents alike.
Many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have a restricted
dietary range, and this book provides parents with advice and
training on how to deal with this condition and achieve a healthier
and more balanced diet. Now described as Avoidant or Restrictive
Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), it is due to sensory
hypersensitivity, and it can impact upon the health of the child,
upon the family, and upon social integration. Based upon successful
training packages the authors provide for parents and
professionals, this book enables the reader to understand the
condition and work with it, gradually increasing the range of food
a child is able to eat. It includes 'box outs' with case studies,
points of interest and action points to make this an accessible and
resourceful read.
