How does autism affect cooking?

Many adults on the spectrum struggle with food and cooking because of sensory stimuli, extreme sensitivity to change, and a strong preference for a narrow selection of ingredients. Research shows that individuals with autism tend to favor processed foods and carbohydrates.

Encouraging kids with autism to develop cooking skills not only benefits their health but also helps them build confidence and become more independent. With plenty of practice, visual demonstrations, and patience, your child with autism may grow to love cooking!
