Many children have significant mealtime difficulties that often impact the whole family. Being called a “fussy eater” may not truly cover the real challenges that some children experience when it comes to eating.

"Autism Spectrum Disorders?
A neurological abnormality called autism spectrum disorder affects how a person perceives and interacts with others, which can lead to issues with social interaction and communication. Limited and recurring behavioral patterns are another feature of the illness. In autism spectrum disorder, the word ""spectrum"" refers to the broad spectrum of symptoms and severity.
Autism, Asperger's syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, and an unidentified type of pervasive developmental disorder are all disorders that were formerly thought to be distinct conditions that make up autism spectrum disorder. The name ""Asperger's syndrome,"" which is widely considered to be at the mild end of autism spectrum disorder, is nonetheless occasionally used.
