ASD and dietary requests

27 replies

ASD child going on a residential school trip and the dietary request options have been asked for. I’ve never seen an dietary option for unseasoned food ( basically my child only eats bland food) yet throughout his life I don’t think I’ve ever had a request fulfilled (unless I’m in a restaurant and have specifically asked). It’s always attributed to picky eating but it’s beyond that. I don’t want them to go hungry. They won’t say anything and I doubt anyone will notice. Any strategies for dealing?

how old is he?

Is it specifically because he's autistic ?
Or are they asking about food intolerance, s / allergies etc ?
I would just give a list of foods he will eat.
