Why is it so hard to fathom that we make something "special" for our Autistic child?? We make a corn pudding on Thanksgiving and my son will only eat plain corn I forgot to heat it and put it on the table. When he asked did I have it, I jumped up to quickly get it out of the can and heat it up. A couple of my family members were baffled and insisted he just eat the corn pudding. We had like 10 dishes on the table. I felt that was the least I could do for him Mind you, he is 22 and we have been dealing with this for at least 20 years, you think they would finally get it??!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665423602623062516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599317265897121292.post-6683824898907441682016-11-25T09:57:01.335-06:002016-11-25T09:57:01.335-06:00My son made his own biscuits and th st is what he ...My son made his own biscuits and th st is what he ate.

Until recently, that was all he would eat. We tried the must take a bite and ended up with Severe Projectile Vomit, that ended that one. He is 13 now and has added a few more foods to his diet but it is a very slow process. I am so thankful for these stories because it does show, we are not alone with this issue.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675121608433258181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599317265897121292.post-14897464794908595312016-11-24T23:35:11.161-06:002016-11-24T23:35:11.161-06:00A dinner roll was the ONLY thing my 2yr old would ...A dinner roll was the ONLY thing my 2yr old would eat today on Thanksgiving.

Junk food is the worse, but that is what he likes to eat. Rolls, french fries and chips. You have to let them eat whatever they will. You can't starve them. Some people really get to me. If you have not been in their shoes, don't say anything because you don't know or understand. Thank you for posting this. It is very encouraging.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249343489628146317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599317265897121292.post-87360828692914506212016-11-24T21:11:19.784-06:002016-11-24T21:11:19.784-06:00Thank you...no one seems to understand to include ...Thank you...no one seems to understand to include his pediatrician...he tells me to make him take a bite...I can't force my son to eat...Lord knows I'm tired of the battles all because someone else thinks they know what is best for my child!
