Food obsessions

sarahb84

Hi all. My son was recently diagnosed ASD and for the past few months he has had a obsession with food, in particular yoghurt, tomato ketchup and cereal. its all he will eat! We tried to hide the food, put a lock on the fridge(which he managed to pull off),we put a gate on the kitchen door(which he manages to climb over). Do we let him continue to carry on? or do we stop him? If stop him, if anyones got any suggestions how? Hes almost 4 and this diet cant be healthy for him, can it?

Thanks xx

  • Yes that's what thedisk with my son 2.5 at nursery, food play. So a plate with mash pot or sweet corn etc. away from snack table and with diff coloured n sizes of spoons etc to take it fun. Feed the dinosours etc. 

    Hope it helps, maybe speak to hv or who ever supports you and your son. And be r r happy when he takes small steps. That is what I have had to do with my boy. 1 bit of cucumber after months of playing with it. 

    :-) hope it helps a little. My little one loves ketchup. N we certinatly started using 'dip dip' with everything even roast :-/ lol
