Summary

"When a child has mealtime challenges due to special needs like autism, ADHD, sensory processing issues or other neurodiversities, they need support and understanding from everyone around them. But parents and caregivers often find it difficult to communicate about their child’s needs with others. They may feel embarrassed or believe that they or their child are being judged. Or they simply may not know exactly how to help others understand the reasons behind their child’s unique eating challenges and mealtime needs."
