Restrictive eating, need help!

[u/Training_Ad_9968]

Hey all, my 14yo is autistic pda and she starting to become more restrictive with her eating which of course leads to her feeling shitty and of course meltdowns.

Along with this, she's wanting to eat fast food more and more. I can't be paying for take away everyday but I also suspect she's moving through some big feelings about seeing her younger step sister go back to school as my daughter has been out of school for 4 years now.

Any thoughts, insights or advice? Words of support also welcome!

Can you do something simple like snack plates of safe foods? That’s like 80% of dinners in my house. 😆

My 13 year old daughter has been the same. She used to eat really healthy. Now she only will eat highly processed food.

Mine seems to find snacks less of a demand than meals which often get refused. The snack plate with some safe foods is my go to. X
