only eating yellow food

sarahtotty

Does anyone have any advice on how i can get my 2 year old with suspected autism to eat anything other than yellow food i feel like i tried everything. all he eats is custard creams, cheerios popcorn chicken, waffles,and crisps ir biscuits if i give him anything or wet texture eg beans sauce and he gets it on his hands he has meltdown same thing happens with fruit and veg. we all try to sit at table with him but he freaks out only way i can get him to eat sometimes is by putting it next to him when he is laying down playing with his toys in front of his eyes. also tried to buy veggie burgers didnt work just gagged on veggies

  • I heard a programme on radio 4 that said rejecting foods they had previously eaten was normal for this age and they can go down to quite a narrow range but they do get over it. I think it was something to do with what hohner said about realising not everything is good. Could you involve him in making some purple food, perhaps using blackberries as a natural colour? Try to findout what textures in food he likes. How it feels in the mouth is very important to its acceptability.
