8 Yr old girl, just diagnosed with ASD, stealing food

NAS77631

Our daughter has been steeling food including food with milk in when she lactose intolerant.  Through was all sorted when confronted and seemed sorry, few days later doing it again.  Any advise or help wanted.

  • Steeling is giant word for such a little person :(

    Is she excluded from what the rest of the family is allowed to have? 

    When I found out my son had an egg allergy I stopped eating them as well. It forced me to learn how to bake and cook without them. It was a way of 'suffering' with him (as he loves them). And it's this camaraderie that is often far more compelling than going without something. We all want to feel like a part of something - this is useful in advertising & persuasion. After several years he got used to it and eventually buys his own vegan cakes now.

    I used to think I was lactose intolerant and stopped having milk for 15 years until I discovered it was gluten that was the problem. Dairy can be difficult to digest with other IBS issues. Once I stopped eating wheat-gluten and all it's relatives, I could digest dairy easily. These allergies aren't simple! However, once gluten became too painful to process and I was more frightened of accidentally eating it, I didn't miss it in the least & still don't.
