My autistic son will not take any medicine. He's a terrible eater too, If he doesn't want to put something in his mouth there is no forcing him. I've tried restraining him and syringing Calpol in, hiding it in food, the lot. He's sensitive to tastes and smells so he knows and he pukes 🫣
We've been lucky that he hasn't been seriously unwell enough for it to be a worry but if he was I'd be back at the doctors for an alternative to get what he needs into him. I haven't seen her live for a long time but if that wee boy is anything like he was when I last saw him ill I'd have him at the hospital, she needs to stop buying weed and pay for medical treatment for that poor boy!
