About this item

This comprehensive guide provides everything you need to transition your child with autism to a nutrient-packed diet. It will increase your understanding of nutrition and autism by explaining how diet supports the function of brain and body (including learning and attention, energy production, sensory processing and gut-brain communication) describing how a highly processed diet can lead to nutritional deficiencies and how to choose more nutritionally dense options looking at the science behind the challenges that children with autism face, such as problems with processing carbohydrates or ingredients such as phenols and oxalates. It then guides you through making dietary changes, offering a range of breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks recipes that are easy to follow and prepare.
