She used to be really picky as well (she has a few AS genes herself), but I'm happy to report that she now eats a normal and pretty varied diet. And she will TRY anything! Last night they both ate black bean burgers. They were a "thumbs down" and a "2 or 3 out of 10", but they both ate them LOL.Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443155478857491865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313645482476477590.post-2754586537687708502011-11-16T14:41:12.928-05:002011-11-16T14:41:12.928-05:00Jeri,
I love that idea! Every time I get worried ...Jeri,<br />I love that idea! Every time I get worried about the lack of variety in Isaac's diet I think of how Temple Grandin lived off of yogurt and jello for a good chunk of her life, and that makes me feel a lot better.hahaha We've found that he's more apt to try a food if we let him help cook it.Libby Louckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129712128025688445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313645482476477590.post-4313196184019000672011-11-16T12:54:31.815-05:002011-11-16T12:54:31.815-05:00My son has been trying a lot of new foods lately t...My son has been trying a lot of new foods lately too...it's a big relief! We developed a "thumbs up/thumbs down" system so he feels like he has some control over not having to eat things he doesn't like. Now he is almost wanting to try new things just so he can tell us thumbs down LOL...it seems small, but I consider it a lot of progress. And he IS eating more things, and finding things that he does like that he didn't think he would.Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443155478857491865noreply@blogger.com
