I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be joining the Everyday Heroes Podcast on 26 August to chat about a topic that’s incredibly close to my heart—picky eating in autistic children.

Every week, I support families navigating the unique feeding challenges that can come with autism, and I know just how stressful and overwhelming mealtimes can become.

In this episode we’ll be talking about:

- Why picky eating is so common in autistic children
- The role sensory processing, anxiety and routine play in eating
- Common mistakes that can accidentally increase mealtime stress
- Practical, evidence-based strategies to help children build confidence around food—without pressure or power struggles

My biggest hope is that every parent listening feels reassured that they’re not alone, and leaves with practical strategies they can start using straight away.

A huge thank you to the Everyday Heroes Podcast for inviting me to be part of this important conversation.

📅 Save the date: 26 August!

If you’re a parent, educator or health professional supporting autistic children, you won’t want to miss this one. Stay tuned!

If every mealtime feels like a battle, you’re not alone.

I work with parents who are exhausted from cooking multiple dinners, worrying about nutrition, walking on eggshells around food, and wondering if things will ever get easier.

The good news? Picky eating can be supported with the right strategies.

Together, we’ll focus on reducing mealtime stress while helping your child build confidence around food - without pressure, bribery or forcing bites.

Here’s how I can help:

Feeding Therapy – Individualised support for picky eating, ARFID, sensory challenges and neurodivergent children.

Online Programs – Learn practical, evidence-based strategies from home at your own pace.

Parent Coaching – Personalised guidance to help you feel confident navigating mealtimes.

My goal isn’t just to help your child eat more foods—it’s to help your whole family enjoy mealtimes again. ❤️

One of the biggest things I see parents struggle with is how to put together meals that their child will eat while getting exposure to new foods.

This is where I help families to create a meal rotation.

It starts with four simple lists:

❤️ Love Foods – foods your child almost always eats.

😊 Like Foods – foods they’re generally comfortable with.

🤔 Sometimes Foods – foods they’ll eat occasionally or in certain situations.

🌱 Learning Foods – new foods they’re still getting to know.

We then structure meals like this:

🍽️ 1–2 Love Foods (so they feel safe)

🍽️ 1 Like or Sometimes Food (to build confidence)

🍽️ A very small portion of one Learning Food (no pressure to eat it)

The goal isn’t to get them to eat the new food that night.

The goal is consistent, positive exposure while ensuring they still have enough to eat.

Over time, those “sometimes” foods often become “liked” foods…

Remember: progress isn’t measured by bites. It’s measured by helping your child feel safe, confident and curious around food.

I know... it sounds completely backwards.
But hear me out.

When dessert is used as a reward for eating dinner, it can accidentally send the message that vegetables are the chore and dessert is the prize.

Over time, this can make your child want dessert even more and make their dinner feel even less appealing.

By serving a small portion of dessert with the meal, we remove the “pedestal” it’s been placed on.

It becomes just another food on the plate - not something that has to be earned.

This doesn’t mean serving unlimited dessert or replacing a balanced meal with sweets.

It means creating a neutral relationship with all foods, reducing power struggles and helping children learn to listen to their own hunger and fullness cues.

For many families, this can be a game-changing strategy.

Every child is different, and this approach isn’t about giving in - it’s about reducing pressure and building a healthier relationship with food over the long term.

A limited diet doesn’t just affect what a child eats—it can also affect how they eat.

The listed nutrients are the most common deficiencies I see in clinic.

Low levels of these nutrients may contribute to:
👉 Reduced appetite
👉 Changes in taste and smell
👉 Low energy
👉 Poor growth and concentration

The good news? You don’t need to change everything overnight.

✅ I take a stepwise approach by:
✅ Identifying nutritional gaps
✅ Strengthening the nutrition in foods your child already eats
✅ Gradually expanding variety through food chaining
✅ Recommending supplements or blood tests when appropriate in collaboration with your GP or paediatrician

Small, consistent changes can have a big impact over time.

Does your child eat foods at daycare that they refuse the second you serve them at home?

This is something I see all the time.

At daycare, children may eat because they’re watching their peers, following predictable mealtime routines, and there may be fewer alternatives available.

Home is also their safe place.

Kids often feel more comfortable refusing food, expressing strong preferences, and they may have learned that if they wait long enough, a preferred food will be offered instead.

Foods may also be prepared differently at daycare, or there may simply be less attention and pressure around eating.

If you are struggling with this and need tailored support comment UNFUSSY or DM me for help ❤️
