Restrictive Eating, Autism & the School Environment

Many autistic children and young people experience restrictive eating linked to anxiety, sensory differences and a need for predictability. This can have a significant impact on their day‑to‑day experience in school.

This practical, compassionate online session explores how school environments and routines can either reduce or increase distress around eating and how small, realistic adjustments can make a meaningful difference.

Who is it for?

Parents, carers, school staff and ALN professionals.

📘 What the session will cover

✅ What restrictive eating can look like (including profiles sometimes diagnosed as ARFID)
✅ Links between autism, sensory processing differences and eating
✅ How school and lunchtime environments can affect anxiety and eating
✅ Practical adjustments schools can make to better support pupils
✅ Common well‑intentioned strategies that may unintentionally increase distress
✅ Working collaboratively with families to support positive relationships with food

Facilitator

Sian Taylor – Clinical Specialist Dietitian, CAMHS (Aneurin Bevan University Health Board)
