The Autism-Friendly Cookbook

Product Information

But every step stymies me—from understanding the steps of the recipe, to having the correct tools/bowls/pots, to the correct timing of stirring and cooking, to serving, to putting leftovers away. My job [as a journalist] relies on asking questions, which is not just in the context of an interview. Natasha Lipman, Journalist and host of The Rest Room podcast Cooking is one of the foundations of independent living.

Some also had another condition that meant an extra layer of support was needed, which can happen when someone is on the autistic spectrum, but with infantilization added to the mix.Today, and it’s been already months, we are in difficult circumstances where it seems like driving the car without properly functioning brakes. The world would be a very boring place if we were all the same, with no difference, no creativity, no originality.

When I bought the book I did not realize the author was from the United Kingdom, so there was some phrases and terminology that I was not used to hearing.

I spend a lot of time trying to navigate the access issues, and it takes up so much of an emotional cost.

Seems like it might be interesting but I’m worried it might end up gimmicky, looking for input/experience whether it’s worth the purchase. Every dish contains a rough time duration to make, an energy level and skill level required (both of which are explained in detail in section one) and ideas for when you might make it.

We've carefully selected ingredients and recipes that are low in sugar and carbs, ensuring that you're serving up wholesome, nutritious meals that won't lead to energy spikes and crashes. Primarily aimed at autistic people, Lydia explains several key cooking concepts to aid in your cooking journey.

We will keep rules that define things such as safety, as well as keeping standards of food care in place, too. Right at the beginning, in the preface, Lydia perfectly describes the paradox of being autistic: that we can simultaneously carry out hugely complex tasks but then struggle with the ‘ordinary’ things of life. Say goodbye to mealtime pain and agitation, and embrace the joy of preparing and sharing delicious, health-conscious meals with your loved ones.
