@autismjumpstart: 🌈🥦 Honoring Preferences, While Pursuing Growth! 🥑🍇 🍔🥔 It's common for autistic kids to stick to familiar, predictable foods. A "tan diet" of nuggets and chips is often the norm. Recently, I stumbled upon a video where a mom beautifully explained her daughter's preference for processed foods. The uniformity provides a sense of security—every chip is the same. 🔄✨ But here's the dilemma: Should we simply respect these preferences, even if it means a limited diet? 🤷‍♀️🚫 Let's unpack this. 👉 Insightful Understanding: Acknowledge the sensory experience around food. It's crucial for tailoring interventions. 👉 Nutrition Matters: Whole foods are essential for optimal health and brain function. Processed foods fall short. 👉 Balance is the Key: Yes, honor preferences, but also lovingly expand their food horizons for better nutrition and overall well-being. 🌟 My Take: While we respect sensory experiences, it's vital to guide our kids toward a diverse, nutritious diet. 🌽💪 Let's keep this conversation going!
