Hi I am the mum of two kids who have Aspergers.
My son has just turned 15 but we have had this same problem on and off for years. He hardly eats any food and he puts it in plastic sandwich bags and hides it in his room drawers. Obviously this is found when it starts to smell. He has no reason why he does it - doesnt know he says. I tell him every time it happens that if he was to put it straight in the bin I would be none the wiser but I feel he wants to be caught.
I have just been at the doctors with him this morning to try get some help again - the docs answer is to tell him to stop as it is ridiculous! No referal to a nutritionist that I was looking for as all he eats is sugary drinks and snacks and he is falling asleep all the time. School work is suffering and he has failed all his prelims and he has become more aggresive in the past few months. He has said he was thinking about killing himself a few months ago - again told doctor this but he says it is just words!
I am worried what he is doing to his body inside and I am worried this is a cry for help - which I have tried to ask the docs for help and we are turned away again.
I have no idea how to get through to him and what I can do to help him as he will not listen to me at all.
