Angelette Muller's comprehensive guide provides everything you need to make the dietary changes necessary to meet your child's complex needs. It will increase your understanding of nutrition and autism by:-- Explaining how diet supports the function of brain and body (including energy production, sensory processing and digestive issues)- Describing how a highly processed diet can lead to nutritional deficiencies and how to choose healthier 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 easy to follow and prepare recipes separated into breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks. - Coding to indicate which recipes can be used in conjunction with specialist diets such as GF, CF, SCD and GAPS (so if your child is on a specific diet, this book is still for you) - Practical tips on how to build a meal and plan a weekly menu - Advice on overcoming common feeding challenges and poor eating habits. This book will be an invaluable addition to the shelves of parents of children with ASD as well as health practitioners such as nutritionists and dieticians who want to know more about autism.
