Call to all parents and carers of autistic children who may be described as “picky” or “fussy” eaters under 12 years old living in Scotland, especially fathers and parents of girls.![]()
I am an MSc Psychology student researcher and the mother of two autistic children. If you fit the above criteria, I would love to hear from you (your child must not have a diagnosed eating disorder or other health condition). Online interviews will last 50 minutes and will help raise awareness of the common experiences and support needs of families like yours in Scotland. Make your story count!![]()
