What to Feed an Asperger
What to Feed an Asperger: How to go from 3 foods to 300 with love, patience and a little sleight of hand | Sarah Patten
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Packed full of tips and tricks to improve the diet of super sensitive Asperger kids, this book is a must read for parents who want to help their children overcome food avoidance and sensory sensitivities. Sarah Patten shows other parents that they are far from alone in their struggle to get their children to eat a varied and well-balanced diet. She describes how, through a combination of love, patience and a little sleight of hand, she managed to get her son to go from eating just three bland white foods to eating a colourful and nutritious diet including fruit and vegetables. Providing recipes for many simple, healthy meals given the Asperger seal of approval, as well as advice for making mealtime routines, eating together as a family and eating out as stress-free as possible, the book provides a wealth of ideas and strategies for moving towards a more varied and nutritious diet. It also includes food diaries and charts to make planning meals and tracking progress simple.

This library book provided some helpful ideas to diversify my son‘s diet. It‘s packed with tasty looking recipes, although many do have some rather far out or expensive ingredients.

The author doesn‘t seem to realise that most parents don‘t have unlimited resources, or, as she mentioned on one occasion, a “garden room” where we can practice Mindfulness. That‘s OK, as I‘m happy to cherry pick whatever is helpful.

Christine OMG. This book is a thing that exists? Stacking and stalking immediately. (Just today while we were grocery shopping, my son reminded his brother that “in my universe, vegetables are NOT actually healthy.” 🙄😝) 5y
Libby1 Hi, @christine ! What age is your son? My son is 9 and was diagnosed last year. Good luck! ❤️ 5y
Christine My son on the spectrum is 14. He eats many more things than he used to, but veggies (and most fruits) only in hidden form, so I‘m always up for new ideas. Best wishes to you on this journey as well! ❤️ 5y
