They can digest the same food as everybody else. However, children with autism might have sensory issues with certain foods. They might be insensitive to moderately spicy foods, preferring to eat spicy foods that seem to have some flavor to them. They might be extra sensitive to spiciness, preferring extra bland foods. They might have a sensitivity to touch, causing them to gag on foods with certain textures. They might dislike certain foods that have too intense an odor.

In addition to that, they often prefer the same routines, so they might want to have the same breakfast every day, the same lunch, and the same dinner. They might make exceptions for birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions, but they might not.
