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

onlyNT@home

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!!!!!!

  • Hi today has been stress free at mealtimes we gave him dry cereal for breakfast which he loved,banana and crisps for lunch and he ate that and for dinner I offered him sausage,raw pepper,grated carrot and bread and butter. He ate the sausage and bread but not the veg he would chew it a couple of times and then spit it out he played with the carrot and pepper so we thought it best to let him play with it. 

    He also had a couple of biscuits mid morning and afternoon and a milkshake first thing and last thing at night. He also had some grapes after lunch and dinner as well. 

    We found that he doesn't like yoghurt or any food that's til wet or slimey.

    I hadn't thought of probiotic yoghurt drinks but will prob replace one of his milk drinks with that. 

    Couldnt Beleive how easy meal times were today will carry on the way were going and when we get next appt with Paeds then will mention it.

    I don't want to say much about it to my health visitor as she comes across as someone who doesn't understand ASD.
