My Son has had Chicken Pox about a week ago. He has just snacked during and since then and won’t eat a proper meal, even yesterday at school he ate a sandwich but didn’t want his dinner in the evening. even though he hadn’t snacked much. Any advice?
Hi NAS75657,Sorry to hear you're having issues getting your son to eat enough. We do have an advice guide here on the NAS site about issues to do with eating - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour/eating/all-audiences - which might have some relevant information to you. Otherwise I think we would recommend making a GP appointment to check if there are any lasting issues from his illness, or just to see what the GP advises regarding under-eating. Hope this is of some help,Ross - mod
Thank you
