Nutrição Para Neurodivergentes - Autismo e TDAH

"Oh! My child hardly eats anything!" This is a very common complaint from parents of neurodivergent children. Nutrition for neurodivergent individuals (people with Autism or ADHD) cannot be relegated to the background. In this interview by Sophia Mendonça with nutritionist Vitor Prata (who is also neurodivergent with Autism and ADHD), you will discover valuable information about nutrition for neurodivergent individuals and selective eating! Nutrition plays a crucial role in the health and well-being of neurodivergent individuals, such as those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Selective eating, common in these cases, can lead to nutritional deficiencies and compromise development. Many have sensory sensitivities that influence their food choices, rejecting certain flavors, textures, or smells. Others may have repetitive eating behaviors, further limiting the variety of nutrients ingested. Nutritional monitoring is essential to ensure that nutritional needs are met, even with specific dietary preferences. A nutritionist can develop an individualized meal plan, considering each individual's preferences and restrictions, as well as identify and treat possible deficiencies. Strategies such as the gradual introduction of new foods, recipe adaptation, and supplementation can be used to expand the food repertoire and ensure a balanced and nutritious diet. Nutritional monitoring can also help identify and treat gastrointestinal problems, common in neurodivergent individuals, which can affect nutrient absorption. Vitor de Paula Prata is a nutritionist specializing in Clinical Nutrition with experience in consulting and teaching. He also works with neurodivergent individuals (ASD and ADHD).
