Description

Many autistic children have a restricted dietary range, and this book provides parents with advice and training on how to support them to 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 the child's health, their family life, and their social life. Based on successful training packages the authors provide for parents and professionals, this book enables the reader to understand restrictive eating and work with children, 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 read full of tips and strategies. Read more

    • Best resource we’ve found yet
Format: Paperback
This book matched our experiences with ARFID with our child perfectly. It was so validating and helpful. It has some good tips and valuable information, including what to do for those under age 8 and what to do for those over that age. Can’t recommend enough.
