Food issues!

I shake my head over these issues............


Autism and food


Autism and sensory issues and food


Autism and low muscle tone and food?


We were doomed right from the very start and I gotta tell you...... my son and his food have given me many a headache over the years!


His diet is extremely restrictive. Oh, he will eat breakfast for lunch and lunch for breakfast, however, offer him any new food and he will refuse to eat it!


Take tonight for example; he is mad about macaroni cheese, however, the cheese sauce has to been very runny and smooth. I guess this is a sensory *thing*! Pasta is all well and good, but what about the protein? I very sneakily diced up a small piece of cooked chicken and mixed it in with the good ol' mac and cheese!


Well, would you believe it, he found a teeny weeny piece of chicken and then that was that!! The dinner ended up in the bin! 


Sadly, because of the autism, there is no way I can resort to bribery and blackmail ~ he just doesn't get it! :)


What to do, what to do?


You know what? Tomorrow is another day, I will think about it then!
