autism spectrum disorder

Special food for special needs like Autism

Many individuals with autism have food aversions and sensitivities. Many also have behavioural issues that make mealtime particularly challenging. Researchers have found that children with ASD are five times more likely to have mealtime challenges such as tantrums, extreme food selectivity and ritualistic eating behaviours. Inadequate nutrition is also found to be more common among children with autism.

Autism prevalence high in urban areas

At least 17 per 10,000 babies in the country have Autism Spectrum Disorder, finds a new survey.

Spectrum / How we see it

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong condition with no cure. This makes early detection imperative so that intervention and support can be put in place to help the individual as soon as possible.
