Many autistic children have a limited dietary range, and this book provides parents with advice and training on how to support them in achieving a healthier and more balanced diet. Now described as Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), it is due to sensory hypersensitivity, which can affect a child's health, family life, and social life. Based on successful training packages provided by the authors for parents and professionals, this book enables the reader to understand restrictive eating and work with children, gradually increasing the range of foods they are able to eat. It includes 'box outs' with case studies, points of interest, and action points to ensure it is an accessible read full of advice and strategies.
