How do you get a child that's a picky eater because of sensory issues to take oral medicines?
Thank you @A MyAutismTeam Member. I didn't know that, I will try that.
My son is an extremely picky eater and the only food he eats i will not able to be put in his lunch box. So i put a bottle of ensure and a bag of cheerios and he only drinks a bit of the shake.
And that's what matters, he's healthy.
Picky eater problems

My daughter recently turned 2 and also turned into a picky eater. She hasnt had an official diagnosis of ASD, but we have had 3 therapist give referrals for testing. Anyway.... just wondering if anyone knows the reason behind why their child wont eat certain things that they once ate.

So I have been looking into a gluten free diet for my son and I’ve read a lot of positive things about the diet. One issue I have is... he is an extremely picky eater. Has anyone ever switched their picky eaters over to a gluten free diet? Is so, how did it work? What recipes were used?

ADHD = Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder

@A MyAutismTeam Member SPD sensory processing disorder
I have a very picky eater - I allowed him to get very hungry and offering him healthy food and eventually ate. Don't be scared won't eat for 2-3 days as long as drinking something - it is fine
She struggles staying at the table. Does worse now that her one year old sister makes noise at the table. She seems to eat better and less picky at school and daycare.
I couldn’t get my 5 year old to try different things but when he went to stay with grandma it’s like all his old habits were gone and he had a clean slate , new plates new room new tables and now he’s… read more
