Does your autistic child struggle with fussy eating or food sensitivities? You’re not alone. Many autistic kids — and even autistic adults — find mealtimes challenging due to sensory sensitivities, routine preferences, and anxiety around new foods.

In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, I’m sharing 5 practical, autism-friendly tips to help you reduce mealtime stress, support healthy eating habits, and make food a more positive experience for everyone involved.

These strategies are based on real-life experiences and designed to work with your autistic brain, not against it.
