Autistic children can be very particular about what they eat, which can make meal planning very difficult for parents. It might be tempting to chalk autistic peoples’ food preferences up to picky eating, but autistic people often have sensory processing issues that can make eating certain foods upsetting.
Repetitive behaviors are common features of autism, but they can present differently from person to person. Repetitive behaviors are simply behaviors that a person does repeatedly or insists on doing the same way every time. These behaviors can include asking about the same thing several times in a row, lining up objects (toys) in a particular way, spinning objects, and obsessively closing and opening doors or drawers.
