Hi am new and surrounded by ASD but need urgent advice about my toddler

Hi I am married to my hubby who has recently been diagnosed with ASD and also it's possible my 12 yr old girl has ASD and Dyspraxia.

but my urgent concern is my toddler has been to see a Paed and he reckons that my boy has some strong Autistic traits.

he has some real issues with foods and he has dropped a couple of centiles and we suspect that he only likes food for example bread,biscuits,grapes and banannas. We've only just realised that he chucks most of his dinner on the floor.

REALLY REALLY need some advice and help!!!!!!

  • Can't better the advice given above.  You could also try blending/liquidising veggies into smoothies and you can mix fruit in to make it sweeter.  Carrot in smoothies is always yummy.  Does he like yogurts?  You could get the yogurts with added friendly bacteria to ensure his stomach is healthy.  It may be more about the textures than the tastes, so if he will only eat things liquidised that's better than not eating at all.
