obsession with food! help needed please!

stacey1471

Hi all, 

My 3.5 years asd Boy is completely obsessed with food, he has broken down baby gates, raids fridge, head bangs n hits self and everyone else throws anything in path over more food.

He is not that picky he has to have separate most food loves all protein type chicken, tuna, eggs, won't touch fruit or veg or salad, loves potatoes, pasta rice. Fish, meats. 

Any way at wits end really,  we have tried gating kit hen, ignoring, timeout, we have food chart with meals etc on n he ticks after had meal, but nothing working. He is so string hurts him self and us, goes into uncontrollable rage of which only thing to bring him out is food what he wNats more of or falling asleep coz had meltdown or excavating self in time out that collapses.really worried about his relation ship with food and obvisally weight issues but at mo is hyper 24/7 so although v big toddler weight not my main concern.  don't think he knows when full?!? 

Any advice welcome

  • Hi, 

    Thanks so much for your reply, 

    Yes he does have allergys, then,wheat and dairy so all of his ffoods are free from. And unfortunately he is the same with drinks opposite to your grand son last year he was consuming 4litres every 24 hours n pead was quite concerned as too much fluid for his age etc so we cut it down but yes he loves juice just as much. So we don't have issue there. He may not know the difference between hungry and thirsty tho!!! He usually wNats food and juice together. 

    Good idea with helmet he usually does in a rage now, where when little did for sensory feedback.

    Thanks again
