The Healthy Eating Toolkit is a practical guide designed to support Autistic adults in making informed nutritional choices based on their personal needs, sensory preferences, and lifestyle.

Rather than imposing rigid definitions of "healthy eating," this toolkit encourages individuals to define their own dietary goals—whether that means balancing nutrients, managing digestive sensitivities, or simply ensuring a sustainable meal routine.

With an emphasis on autonomy and self-determination, the toolkit provides strategies for grocery shopping, meal preparation, and establishing eating routines that align with each person’s unique needs.

It also acknowledges common challenges such as food intolerances, executive functioning barriers, and the need for safe food alternatives, offering realistic solutions for navigating these concerns. Ultimately, the goal is to create a flexible, judgment-free approach to nutrition that prioritizes well-being, comfort, and personal choice.

Who Is This For?

This toolkit is for Autistic adults who want to take a self-directed approach to their nutrition and eating habits. Whether you are looking to build a meal routine that works for you, find foods that fit your sensory and digestive needs, or gain a better understanding of nutrition without overwhelming rules, this guide is designed to provide flexible, judgment-free support.

It is also helpful for anyone who experiences executive functioning challenges related to food planning, meal prep, or grocery shopping. No matter where you are in your journey with food, this toolkit offers practical strategies to help you make informed choices that align with your personal needs and lifestyle.

About the Lifespan Toolbox

 The Lifespan Toolbox is a collection of toolkits for everyone in the autism community from self-advocates, family members, professionals, and other members of the community to get on the same page about autism and lifespan.

We span topics all over the lifespan, specifically thinking about the adulthood years (the longest span of our lives!) and how we can all work together to support the autistic person/people in our lives and community. 

Research and reported experiences from autistic individuals show a need to receive individualized support regarding life skills and to be connected with others. That’s where the Lifespan Toolbox comes in!

Interactive

  • Each toolkit page has an interactive webpage with active links and videos. You can also download the PDF which has ample space for taking notes.
