- In this webinar, Emily Kuschner, Ph.D. provides an overview of the eating issues commonly seen in children who have autism, with a focus on food selectivity (picky eating). She also discusses which youth may not be well served by interventions currently available and shares information on an innovative cognitive-behavioral approach for treating food selectivity in school-age youth with ASD.

As a kid I ate mostly bread and cheese and was overweight. Every one of my stools would clog the toilet. When I started taking control of my diet, I learned to integrate foods that I intensely dislike. One time, my aunty ji made eggplant for me, and I actually ate it. Every year, I shift closer to veganism. I hate vegetables and I really hate fruit and also meats, grains, beans, and every other food group. But I really love bisques and kadhi, etc. I also learned to eat fewer meals and smaller amounts--intermittent fasting, I think it's called. It helps with my digestion: things flush properly and fewer wipes are necessary.

MY daughter has autism too. It is really hard and challenging raising a child with autism. But God choose us to be their parents to love accept and protect them always.
Anecdotal, but I, with Autism&ADHD, have had no problems eating anything, and am the opposite of picky. One of my children has Autism-without ADHD, and is the child you described in the beginning of this presentation, overly picky, with extreme food demands. I feel that the ADHD adds something positive to my life, when paired with autism, and this shows up in many areas. (I grew up without, and have a different relationship with food, than my child does. When left up to me, I tend to eat the same exact thing every day, for weeks on end, until I find a new favorite food).
my autistic son will throw up any food he doesn't like. its not like he sticks his finger down his throat he just will swallow it with in 3 seconds he will throw it up
Im 34 and I like what I like. Luckily for me, I’ve been open enough to where I can have a delicious and healthy diet.
I rarely stray from what I eat and trying new stuff that people offer me gives me major anxiety. For example there was some honey type russian cake someone at the party wanted me to try. Out of politeness I did, but I had anxiety and a preconceived dislike for it already. The cake didn’t have a bad flavor, but I didn’t enjoy it or the texture. Not knowing what I was eating also made me feel uneasy just in case it had stuff in it that I refuse to have in my food, such as mayonnaise.
Thank you 😊
My daughter appears to be very very sensitive and has both autism though considered mild and ARFID. My elder children are both autistic and my son is in a wheelchair with severe disabilities and pegfeeds. I try to give her as much space as possible so as to take pressure off her , but it's a juggling with all three.
Hats off
I hope you have a a lot of help and don’t forget to take care of yourself! - parent of a 1 and 3 year old
Hugs❤️
Yeah I understand that feeling
I have a lot of kid of my own and one with autism I a difficult challenge but I love my. Son and we want was best for are kids my schedule I have worked it around my son my break happens when he takes one’s it’s alot of work ;) ❤
At 38 years of age (ASD-1), having experienced lifelong, classic ASD oddities regarding food preferences, I find myself increasingly disinterested in the consumption of food. I find it mundane and annoying and would happily stop eating completely if it weren't for lethargy and malnutrition. I find myself fasting for long spans and missing meals by choice with some strange sort of satisfaction (even if my body is weak). I hope this isn't common for many others. I feel like a child... needing help to acknowledge and prioritize food consumption. It's all very strange and I have yet to discuss it with a professional in any serious way.
I'm 23 and I go through phases like this every once in awhile, where I just don't have an interest in food. I sometimes get bored of my everyday diet but don't want to try something new because 90% of the time, it's not good
i relate. i have most likely developed arfid and go through food hyperfixations where i eat the same things in that time period, and i also notice when i switch that routine my other ones change. but i can only keep a routine based on interests and good sensory input.
Thank you for this video. Picky eating with an autistic child is rough. This really helped.
Thanks so much for tuning in! We're glad you found it helpful.
Hi mam I am from India and my son is an autistic child of about 5 years now..and, he is at the moderate level..,I am not having any idea about GFCF diet.. can you please suggest the diet.. so that it would be a great help for me tq...
Do you have anyone you recommend that can help my son with these issues. I am in the Houston area. Thank you
As autism is different for autism, this may not work, but only time will tell.
Since I have this problem myself, I'm going to go off what helped/helps me. I would advise you don't put him under any STRESS to eat it. Let him decide. One thing I've figured out is that food selectivity is basically an irrational fear of food, for me anyway. So let the child be in control, but of course you should suggest and occasionally expose different types of foods to him, to get him to adapt. Change is possible, but it requires hard work and perseverance.
Then again, I'm not sure, take this advice with a grain of salt but nevertheless, hope it helps.
You can reach out to the Autism Response Team. They may be able to help you. www.autismspeaks.org/autism-response-team-art Or the autism center at Texas Children's Hospital.
With me I get obsessed with certain foods then go off them but I try a lot of things am vegan
I obsess over food too in a pattern all or nothing approach to everything lol
It's a shame when you let adults who is autism eat what they want and become so over weight they can not walk what is wrong, it's just terrible you can't leave every day choice up every day for adults arkansas wow mind-boggling
