Everything about the Family Tagarela AUTISM and ADHD here: https://linktr.ee/familiatagarela In today's video, I explain about eating difficulties in autism. Many autistic people have food refusal, selectivity or sensitivity to certain foods, which makes mealtimes extremely difficult. Occupational therapy often helps, but in other situations it does not. The Denver Model of Early Intervention A study by the Marcus Autism Center at Emory University School of Medicine showed that autistic children are 5 times more likely to have eating difficulties. This study also concluded that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder are more likely to be malnourished. It is worth remembering that food allergies are also very common among autistic people and that, all these factors together, end up causing a lot of stress in family eating. So, if you are a mother or father of autistic people, and have ever asked yourself “why doesn’t my child eat?” Or, if you are autistic and want to better understand your difficulties in relation to food, pay attention to this video where we will explain everything that happens in the relationship between autism and food. And more than that! In this video, I bring 20 tips that will help you a lot to improve the quality of meals in your home. Stay tuned until the end of the video so you don't miss anything.
