In general, yes we do see that many children with neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and ASD do seem to have higher levels of food sensitivities or fussiness. This could be due to their sensory differences (e.g. higher taste/smell sensitivity). There are also some studies that suggest that reduced consumption of artificial food colours can be helpful for ADHD symptoms. Do consult a healthcare professional when making any dietary changes to ensure that your child is consuming a well-balanced diet.
