Hi FC hope things are improving, even a tiny bit, at your end.

I once taught an autistic girl who would only eat two foods, sausages and Kit Kat - but only the ends of the Kit Kat, not the bit with the writing on it. Glad your DS isn't that limited.

Mad isn't it? They guy who's daughter would only eat the Sainsburys cooking chocolate delivers parent courses for the NAS. I have felt sorry for myself at times but I truly felt for him

How are you Sue?

Bit early to call things an improvement this end but there might have been some headway today

I'll just say I watched some of this programme. My son had to go in and have 8 teeth out and the same amount of fillings about 3 years ago. It broke my heart his dental situation is very poor indeed. Not everything is always as it seems.

My DS has a VERY restrictive diet due to his autism. It's quite common in conditions such as that. He stopped drinking milk before he was 2 and won't touch just water. The only way to keep him hydrated is to give him squash (as weak as I can make it). He won't eat certain colours or textures of food. That's not negotiable, he literally would just not eat if I tried to force him to eat what I deem healthy. I've been attending a nutritionist for years with him. We get by maximising his love of yogurts (only ever strawberry) and bananas and (all red) apples which cost an absolute fortune

These programmes sensationalise things. Sometimes there's not always a choice. I have told the story on here before of the little girl who would eat absolutely nothing but Sainsburys cooking chocolate.

I know that some people make poor choices in what they feed their kids on and that's inexcusable but sometimes there isn't a choice

Is there no way that he can have water? May need a lot of loving care (which I know you provide) and talking to to convince him it is the right thing to do. I'm trying the conciliatory approach rather than forcing (clearly he won't accept something he doesn't want to and maybe needs rational and logical reasoning as to why he should).

I know I have fads and come on and off certain things; I am a fussy eater (although nowhere near as fussy as that). People may notice the absence of any bolognese sauces or anything like that etc. from my own shopping - we simply don't ever have these things. I even managed to give up chocolate completely for a number of years. That was to do with the small amount of caffeine in it (which I wasn't always aware of) and of course I never take drugs. I gave up beef during, and for many years after, the BSE scare. There was then a point where I refused to eat any beef unless it was NOT British. (Every other country's food safety system I had confidence in, just not our own:rotfl:.) I've been off and on peas at various stages in my life (I once managed to get a pea stuck up my nose and had to be sorted out at a hospital - but that's another story) and, although when I was little, I did also have mushy peas, currently I don't eat any of those. HTH.

(I'm thinking: what is the issue with water? Does it scratch his throat causing him pain or something like that? I don't know: but some people have sensory issues and sensitivities to texture/certain fabrics as well etc. Yet he can have it in squash, so... what's the problem?!?)

You know, I was just thinking to myself that there was a distinct absence of any bolognese sauces or anything in Savvys shopping.
:rotfl: at the pea though Savvy You are meant to eat them, not snort them!! :eek:

Shortest answer ever savvy. You have just proved my point

Issue with water is that it's colourless. He wants a drink that has a colour....NOT GREEN :eek: it's that simple
