Healthy. : Autism kids often are very selective about their food choices according to texture, taste, or smell. Try to provide a healthy diet for your spectrum child. Be patient as they work through their food idiosynchrocies. There no dietary treatments that help autism.

I gotta say it !: One without chicken nuggets. Seriously, a study on nutrients in children with autism is available to you. See my comment. Clinically, i see a higher incidence of obesity in my "hate the greens, love the whites" patients with asd's. Tanya stegen-hanson, an excellent ot here in lv, wrote a good book, "just one more bite, " available on amazon. I have no financial interest in its sales.
