I live in nyc. I dont mind traveling to long Island or the city hell even to nj if that can get him to eat better. I was looking for food therapy but hit a block everywhere it lead me to was a company who never returned any of my calls. He did at one point had an ABA therapist but that ended when he aged out at 5yrs old. Again im lost and the only thing I have is this site and other parents of kids not on any level of spectrum. At this point any help will do for us.

At this point, while there are things you could try (I'm assuming you've tried a lot of things already) you probably need to consult a professional. There are feeding specialists though depending on where you live, they may or not be close. There are also therapists/clinicians who specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy who could help. Ideally a BCBA/ ABA therapist could help with this issue but again, that can be hard to come by and/or get covered by insurance.
Before all though, it seriously sounds like you need to find a new pediatrician. N

@A MyAutismTeam Member thank you for you insite it all helps. I never thought about using a chaser with food I can try that with the pudding. That's the goal for tonight.

A MyAutis...

Yes he does like pudding and ice cream he tries to eat with the spoon. He puts the spoon inside of his mouth the right way but for the food he will turn it upside down in his mouth. I didnt know what to make of it at the time . He will drink almost anything cold. He loves V8 v-fusion. He will drink about 16-20 ozs of that a day. We just started drinking yoo-hoos. I really wanted him to drink chocolate soy milk if anything but now its whatever.

Hell, its hard to get him to do anything he don't want to do. In order for me to get him to take medicine we have to sneak it in lemonade just to mask the taste.

Thank you all formyour advise. He does not have any issuse with bm's he goes about twice a day. I think its more of an issue of not wanting to eat cause if I offer him candy or chips (pop corn) here will have no problem at all eating it. His father and I have went to the task of forcing him to eat a little piece of chicken I fried for him like pop corn chicken it had more floor then meat in it and it took him about 30 minsto eat Iit then he turned around and said that was tasty. But that was the last time. We tried every day after that and he cried the whole time and never ate it again. He is telling me to think about not giving him anything else but water one day w/o his snacks and then the next day he will eat whatever I put in front of him. Im amom k told him and I can't see my child hungry. Now that was two yrs ago its come to the point that I think I should try this to see what happens
