Had a lovely time on the panel at the most recent meeting at the gold coast! It was so nice to meet other people who are as passionate about their work as I am. Plus, the miami marketta was a beautiful location to meet! Thanks again to Amanda Gorman, the founder of distractd for inviting me. Dr Glen Craig and Jane Morgan were excellent, and it was a pleasure to share the panel with them.

Constipation. 😫 Yep not a pleasant topic but so important to understand it's causes especially in kids... being more common in kids with autism! Selective eating and sensory issues often lead to no fruit and veg, refined grains, high fat/salt, and limited water OR there could be intolerances! It's interesting to note that by treating constipation will often result in improved food intake and improved behaviour and learning! Gut health is so important and worth a discussion around how to find the right strategy to get things moving!! Thanks again to Tony and Michelle for their advice!

Here is some wonderful advice from the Autism experts Tony Attwood and Michelle Garnett on helping your ASD child to eat more foods. Did you know there are 32 steps to feeding a child! 😯 It starts from being in a room with a food..... smelling a food..... touching a food without hands.... touching a food with hands.... tasting a food.... and finally eating the food! Kids with sensory issues may find it difficult to move up this hierarchy of accepting foods but we can make it easier by keeping them relaxed and the environment calm!🥰

Sharing is caring! In this unprecedented time, my family decided to offer some of our herbs to the local community! We see more of our neighbours out walking these days and now they can pick up something extra to make their meals amazing!

Here is a nice compilation of photos and messaging around the most helpful ways to feed your kids. Maybe just try one point you think you might need to work on... I've definitely had to tone down the "talk too much about nutrition!!" 😄
