So I took the red bits out and showed him that they are circles and he loves circles. Planets! It's the solar system. Then he named all the planets as he ate all of it. I was shocked. He also responds well to being told it's not food. Its colours. Eat your favourite colour first .. or if it's any shape really. Talk about the shape of it. Anything but the taste or smell or texture. <br />He's 5 and has been not been diagnosed yet but I think he will be soon. His dr has told me he's sure he's on the spectrum but wants to observe him for longer before diagnosis.

Accor...Parenting Aspergers Children - Support Group<br />According to Cheri Fraker, a pediatric speech pathologist and oral feeding specialist, Food Chaining is a child-friendly treatment approach that builds on the child’s successful eating experiences. Foods a child accepts are studied for patterns in taste, texture and temperature. New foods similar to the ones the child eats well are used to create the food chains, or links, formed between the foods a child accepts and the new, targeted foods we wish for him to eat. The child is presented with new foods he is likely to eat as they are similar to the ones he already enjoys eating.<br />18 hours ago · Like<br />Melanie Bowers try to make your own and hide vegies on the top maybe mix in shredded veg with the cheese<br />16 hours ago · Like<br />Shaz Ali gfcf..my son would never eat healthy today since he was addicted to those foods..now he's healthier than ever..veggies, salads, sunflower seeds..it's great<br />12 hours ago · LikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-16739334010869545972011-07-07T12:58:03.614-07:002011-07-07T12:58:03.614-07:00The answer is in the 'reward' for eating s...The answer is in the 'reward' for eating something new or healthy. My child loves desserts. So, the deal is he tries something or eats something and then he can have the dessert he wants. It has been a great motivator for our son. Sometimes he chooses to not have the dessert and not eat what is expected and that is fine with us. I find trying to disguise food doesn't work because of his keen sense of smell and he quickly figures it out anyway. He will eat raw carrots and broccoli as long as there is ranch dressing. He will eat a taco, as long as there is sour cream. As the child gets older I have found that they become a little more agreeable about trying new things. Patience is the key.Mitzenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-48821965927575617292011-07-07T12:42:12.574-07:002011-07-07T12:42:12.574-07:00Vanessa Willis Google "food chaining" - ...Vanessa Willis Google "food chaining" - It works!<br />2 hours ago · Like · 2 people<br />Crystal Hodgdon sounds like mine<br />about an hour ago · Like<br />April Miller My son is like that...i found one thing..we make broccoli chesse cornbread...he loves it and doesnt realize hes eating veggies! =)<br />about an hour ago · LikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-65151771778332370782011-07-07T10:36:08.531-07:002011-07-07T10:36:08.531-07:00We nearly pulled our hair out trying to raise our ...We nearly pulled our hair out trying to raise our son (now 15) who refused to eat meat, veggies, fruit, any bread other than white, juice, and just about anything else that wasn't peanut butter or cheese. As he grew older we did learn that, as the article states, power struggles accomplish nothing. Negative attention from outsiders (parents at birthday parties or sleepovers, relatives at family dinners) had absolutely no effect. Planting a garden, reading up on nutrition and recipes, visiting farms and farmers markets did nothing to entice my boy, although on occasion he would concede to take a small bite of a "new" food, then politely decline to eat any more. A great deal of his distaste seemed to stem from a texture problem, and a lot of it was a genuine dislike of the taste of these foods. At this point, we have succumbed to supplementing his diet with Muscle Milk, ProMax bars, vitamins, etc. It's not a perfect situation by any means but we finally came to the conclusion, after countless wailing complaining visits to our pediatrician, that he is thriving despite the Aspie food constraints. Family meal times are pleasant, rather than stress-filled battlegrounds, and on his end, my son has greatly improved about stretching his boundaries and trying new food, if only just to placate us. Best of luck to you in this amazing journey of raising a neuroterrific!:)Benzmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698190854870992820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-51144410401516183102011-07-07T10:30:38.265-07:002011-07-07T10:30:38.265-07:00Brandy Dusenbury Balting Mash up some veggies and ...Brandy Dusenbury Balting Mash up some veggies and mix it into the cheese in the pizza rolls, lol.
