[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My autistic kiddo with Arfid likes the same thing in his lunch lunch most days of the week. For him that's butter and jam sandwiches, or bagels with PB (he's allowed this at school), dried fruit, pretzels or popcorn. He will occasionally have leftover homemade pizza.

I used to feel the pressure of needing him to have variety, but realized his day is so full of variety and stimulation at school that a consistent lunch was actually a predictable anchor for him. Now I just pack what I know he will eat, so he's full, and we try new things with no pressure at home. [/quote]

Yes my kid eats the exact same thing every single day. I think the routine is comfortable for him or these are just what he likes.

OP, if your kid will eat chicken nuggets, then send those. Protein! It's a win.

Even if it wasn't that nutritious, just pack what you know he will eat, then focus on more balanced meals in the AM or PM pre meds or when they have worn off.

If you really want to find some new ideas, take him to the store and let him choose what to try. Giving him ownership/agency may help. [/quote]
