In the context of autism, safe foods refer to a limited selection of foods that an individual with autism consistently consumes and finds palatable, often due to sensory sensitivities or other factors. These foods are typically foods that do not cause anxiety or distress during mealtimes. They might be preferred due to specific textures, tastes, or smells.
