Feeding a child on the spectrum with picky eating can be challenging for a variety of reasons. To name a few:
- Your son/daughter may be more sensitive to taste, texture, smell, or temperature
- He/she may have skill delays that make using utensils, or even chewing or swallowing, difficult
- Your child may crave predictability and want the same meal night after night
- Your child could experience discomfort related to eating such as heartburn or tummy aches
