A lot of autistic kids eat ‘beige’ food don’t they. A lot don’t like sauces and certain textures. I know a lot of autistic kids who eat the same thing every day and the poor parents have to stock up because god help them if they can’t get hold of the certain food.
I have no experience of children with autism, but since Wilby was first weaned he has been given junk and processed food while watching a screen. They very rarely even sit him at the table when everyone else is eating. Even if he does have issues with food, I don't think they have made any attempt to help or encourage him. He's never just been sat at the table and given a small plate of whatever they're eating even just to play with while they eat and interact with him. I totally understand that some children have issues with different foods and textures etc, and even those that don't will go through fussy phases, but he's had zero encouragement from day one.
Nobody is judging. She never showed him eating anything other than nuggets, chips, or doughnuts or anything sweet when he was weaning. His food would always be pureed which will not help him with textures, taste, and colours. He'd be left in his pushchair to watch a tablet when they'd go out to dinner, they'd never involve him. It seems they never tried to let him have an eating experience as they have always shoved a screen in front of his face.
They were out eating a few months ago and he was on his tablet and sloshua was passing over pieces of his food and commenting that he was eating avocado etc. It was spoken about on here. So he will try other things. He might not like them all eg screaming cos he was offered an orange but he will try them. She just doesn't want the hassle.
Or maybe going around in a washing machine at her laundrette.. wherever they are.. Sloshy Joshy doesn’t have them!
Not judging, but they are lazy when it comes to exposing him to different foods.
