Come and have a cuppa, share your joys, and vent your problems with other people who understand.
I don't know what normal is anymore

She would never eat from a platter of mixed fruit or veg though (so far). Hopefully the dietician knows what she is talking about........but after about 4 days, I think, it is showing some rewards.
I think the 15 minute rule is for us? so she gets used to planned meal times, no grazing, also a balanced diet.

I don't fuss too much about food either. He is a really fussy eater but I cook things he likes and will eat. The last thing I want before bed is more anxiety, he hardly sleeps as it is. His twin sister who is NT is actually fussier than him!!!

In fact I think that was how we got onto frozen peas and corn. He would only eat the meat for dinner so as a snack in the hot weather I gave him a small bowl of them.. he loved them and I was happy as he was eating vegies.. lol
This just reminds us that every one of these kids are so different. What works for one will not work for another. Some aspie kids I know live tomato sauce over everything (as regular kids often do too) yet mine gags at the smell of the stuff..
I guess it depends on what the family routine is and trying to get our kids to fit in with it.

So, morning tea went well, despite having to bring it forward by 1/2 an hour, because "I am really hungry"
Lunch....Pasta and sauce, chicken breast meat chunks, juice.
This chicken looks disgusting.
No, it doesn't, it looks fine to me.
well, not to me, I think it's the worst chicken in the universe
it is very yummy, trust me, just try it, it will taste good.
I can't trust you, it looks horrible and it will taste like that too
no, I am sure it won't.
I think it looks like really disgusting chicken
don't look at it and just eat it?
what if it tastes nice but still looks disgusting?
well, that won't matter will it?
I am sorry, I just can't do it.
you will be hungry if you don't and afternoon tea is a long time.
Trust me, I promise I won't
Oh my sounds like 99% of the kids we get in care!!! I like the 15 minute rule btw. I might try that!

As some of you know our Master 13 has dyspraxia along with auditory processing disorder.
The teacher who has been a permanent sub in the class suggested that he has some signs of Aspergers and that we should perhaps look into this.
Help I've looked at a number of websites but they are rather confusing and seem more towards Autisim so can anyone head me in the right direction for some reliable info.
Also how do you get a 13 year old tested?
And since you've been talking about Sauce in the previous posts... imagine if I poured petrol all over your dinner and asked you to eat it ๐ฎ because that is exactly how Master 13 has always reacted to having sauce put on his food ๐
Everyone else in this family loves Tomato sauce - not on everything but sausages, a pie, stuff like that is soooo nice with sauce.
