Helping autistic kids eat by giving parents the tools and confidence to support progress at home.

If you're looking for simple steps that make a real difference, this is where to begin.

I went from feeling helpless watching meals go untouched to creating mealtimes where kids explore food willingly.

Hi, I'm Kristy!

I know how exhausting and disheartening mealtimes can feel, especially when your child is autistic and food feels like a daily battle. I’ve seen the stress, the worry, and the frustration when every strategy seems to fall short.

Through years of working alongside families as a feeding therapist, I’ve learned how to create a mealtime environment that encourages eating. My approach helps children feel safe exploring food at their own pace, while giving parents the tools and confidence to support them without pressure.

I’ve walked with many families of autistic children as they’ve rebuilt trust at the table, celebrated progress, and rediscovered joy in mealtimes - and I’d love to help you do the same.

Free 5 Day Reset - Dinner Without Drama

October 06, 20251 min read

If you’ve ever sat at the dinner table thinking, “I can’t do this one more night,”—this resource is for you.

Dinner Without Drama is a gentle five-day reset I created for parents who love their kids deeply but find themselves dreading dinner time. Maybe your child only eats a handful of foods, maybe every meal feels like a battle, or maybe you’re just tired of feeling like food is one more thing to worry about.

As an Accredited Practising Dietitian, Feeding Therapist, and solo mum of one awesome neurodivergent kid, I’ve seen first-hand how much pressure builds up around mealtimes. That’s why I built this reset: to help you take that pressure off both your child and yourself.

Grate Adventures free resource: Dinner Without Drama 5-Day Reset, helping families enjoy calmer, happier mealtimes.

What you’ll learn inside

Each day guides you through one simple, realistic step that helps you:

  • Serve deconstructed meals so your child feels safe and in control

  • Remove pressure and rebuild trust at the table

  • Notice progress beyond “bites” (because progress isn’t just about eating)

  • Reflect on what’s working and where mealtimes feel lighter

You’ll also get practical tools like a daily tracker and mealtime reflection prompts, plus links to our Facebook community for extra support and inspiration.

Why it works

When the pressure comes off, everything gets lighter—the mood, the mealtime, and your relationship with food as a family. Children start exploring at their own pace, parents start breathing again, and mealtimes begin to feel like quality time instead of a test.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about making small, compassionate changes that make a big difference.
