Hi all
DD (4) has ASD (HF). She's making excellent progress with her language and social skills. I'd like to work on widening her accepted foods if at all possible. She won't eat any fruit, very little veg and not much meat. She is growing fine, although I do worry about her getting all the nutrition she needs. I also worry how she'll cope with lunches when she starts school.
She now eats pasta after a very slow, gentle approach but she just won't put things in her mouth to try them, even when she's enjoyed them in the past. If we take the same slow approach it feels like she'll take forever to broaden her palate.
Has anybody found a way of getting their child to try more foods? Or any stories of how your child used to be an awkward eater and is now a foodie? I love food and wish she would too!
