Self-care skills, especially food preparation skills, are essential for independence as young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) transition to adulthood. This practice brief reviews the impact of a six-week course designed to teach cooking skills to college students with ASD. The goal was to increase confidence in cooking and frequency of cooking to enhance skills for independence and dietary habits. Designed and taught by a registered dietitian nutritionist, the course utilized nutritious, sensory-friendly recipes along with visual recipe guides to promote skill building. Pre-and post-tests were administered during the first and final sessions of the course to assess self-reported changes in methods of cooking, frequency of self-prepared meals, and meal preparation confidence. Data were collected over a two-year period. Results from pre-and post-tests questionnaires showed significant increases in cooking frequency and confidence in cooking ability compared with baseline.
