Dysphagia - Signs and symptoms of swallowing disorder

Swallowing disorder or dysphagia affects a person's ability to swallow food, drinks and medications safely.
Dysphagia can affect people of all ages. If an individual has dysphagia, there is a risk of food, fluids or even saliva going down the 'wrong way' into the lungs.
If you or your someone in your care has been assessed by a speech therapist, please follow their recommendation for diet/fluids modifications and strategies.
This video demonstrates the signs and symptoms of dysphagia to look out for.

I have autism and two neurological conditions that causes me to have difficulty swallowing. I have been to specialists and there's no cure nor treatment that has helped. I have to be careful. I am known to make a mess when eating and drinking. It makes me feel anxious about eating and drinking in front of people. I've learned to accept it. I have a lot of support so if I need assistance I have it available.
