3 year old son may have autism

Hi everyone,

So we are in the middle of getting our little boy diagnosed atm he is pretty much non verbal just the basics hi, bye, mum and & dad etc he really is difficult when it comes to meal/snack times has anyone got the same problem? Im really worried he is going to starve, i have been trying to get him to drink vitamin drinks but even with that its hard. He is constantly getting colds and flu aswell. He is at nursery but he doesnt seem to interact with the kids there but seems to be ok during group time. Also he hates to be touched its quite hard to get him to give a hug etc although he seems to be ok with me just other family members.

Would like to know what everyone elses stories are? 

Thanks

    Hi again, I realise that I forgot to say anything about eating habits, which was one of your concerns. Although my son was never very picky about food in itself, he has always hated for different food types to be touching on the plate. There needs to be a gap, so flavours don't mingle. I don't know if that helps. Also, assuming that all the children at the nursery have their snack at the same time, maybe he finds sitting with them all a bit overwhelming, would they allow him to have his snack separately if necessary?
