It's #NationalWeaningWeek! It may take 10 tries or more for babies to get used to new foods. Keep offering a variety of foods, even the ones they don’t seem to like and let them get used to it in their own time. Get more weaning support ➡️ nhs.uk/start4life/weaning

What is Autism? Autism is a spectrum condition. This means it affects people in different ways with varying symptoms, level of functioning and challenges. Every autistic person has a different personality and set of abilities. Autistic people can experience increased sensitivity to light, touch, sound and taste. This can impact on the variety of foods that they eat.

Problems with eating - You may have sensory issues, which means you feel more sensitive to the way things (including foods) smell, taste, look and feel. This can make it difficult to eat certain foods and can lead to eating a very limited diets.

How can a dietitian help? Dietitians can: look at whether your diet is providing all the nutrients needed, give advice on nutritional supplements, give helpful, practical advice to help reduce mealtime stress or anxiety. If suitable, give advice to help to try new foods. If you are autistic and would like to see a dietitian, you can ask your doctor to refer you to an NHS dietitian.
