I hate Autism because its causes me even more difficulty getting a 3 year old to eat. There are days I want to throw my hands up and tell him to starve. I throw enough food out in a week to feed a Family of 4.
God forbid I run out of chicken nuggets (like I did today) my son won't eat. He will eat about 1/2 a cup of vegetables and scream for an hour over the thought of eating something as Insane as a Hot dog. From a therapy standpoint I should ignore the behavior or just keep at it till he eats, but we forget that Daddy is not home at dinner time and the one year old in the high chair will start chiming in the minute the boy starts screaming.
Nothing is more awesome then a 3 year old and a one year old screaming in harmony! SO he ate some vegetables after practically vomiting up the finger nail size piece of hot dog and then i dismissed him because I cant handle the screaming and throwing yourself off a chair thing anymore.
Little Miss Piggy calmed down and ate her dinner, plus Frankies hot dog and his vegetables......
