How to get your autistic child to try new foods.
Trying new foods is hard for autistic children in general. To slowly introduce new foods, we start off with a social story. In the social story, we explain when they we will trying the new food and what time of food they will trying. Then we end with reassuring them that if they don’t like it it’s ok. We start with foods that are similar in texture, taste, and ingredients that they already like. If they like the new food you can then expand from their buy trying some that has the same ingredients but different texture. Like going from pizza, to spaghetti, to lasagna. Or from French fries, to roasted potatoes, to mashed potatoes.
