Hello I'm so pleAsed to found this thread my five year old was diagnosed with autism last year and is at a specialist school but since starting this year his behaviour is so much worse mostly eating and because we don't know how much he eats at school we don't know if he is eating enough

My oldest son is so incredibly fussy due to his sensory needs and i was the same as you. Worried he wasnt eating enough. His paediatrician said to just feed him what he likes (the beige diet) and if hes hungry, feed him. My son lost weight and got quite thin because of it, so id ask if he was hungry and I'd make him food. I'm not sure if your son is verbal or non-verbal? Do you use social stories? Does he feel hunger?
He is verbal but he says yes to everything
Maybe do small portion meals throughout the day. so instead of breakfast, lunch, dinner as big main meals, have smaller ones more often?He is verbal but he says yes to everything
