Did you know they WON’T just eat when they’re hungry?
🍗🍝🍕 Some timely information to consider as most of us prepare for celebrations and shared meals coming up with friends and family.
Over and over we hear messaging as our children struggle to find safe foods…
❌ Don’t pander to them ❌ you’re setting them up for bad habits ❌ they’ll eat when they’re hungry
Autistic diets are often fairly beige. They’re consistent and reliable. Food comes in the same shape and taste over and over. Our pantry shelves are lined with cans and packets of our safe foods. Specific brands. Same foods to feed us until we no longer want anything to do with these things.
It’s the start of the festive season! 🎄🎅 Ahead of all the celebrations, it’s important to make sure everyone’s needs are catered for by having a few back up meals that are consistent and meet sensory needs. Because it’s ok to prepare the same meal each week – whatever works best for you and your family! 🍴😊 #festiveseason #sensoryfriendly
Let’s put an end to judgement and create a world of acceptance and understanding 🤝🌍 Let’s make it a priority to show love and kindness – oh and let’s not forget about the nuggets, tempura style with no crumbs on the table 😋 #spreadlovenotjudgement #BeKind #nuggs4lyfe
