My 7 year old daughter has never been a fantastic eater but she did until recently eat a good variety of things (though ever huge quantities). In the past couple of months, she has stopped eating most things and basically confines herself to things like plain bread, wraps, plain pasta and would eat sweets / chocolate /crisps galore if they were available.
She has always been slim but is in the 2nd percentile weight-wise. She suffers from high anxiety relating to lots of different things, most recently this morning for a routine ear examination at the GP when she attempted to run out of the surgery several times. I am already seeking support with regulating the anxiety but could anybody please help with recommendations for supporting her with the eating issues - I want to nip these in the bud! And ongoing general support with her high functioning autism outside of school eg. a paediatrician/clinic psychologist with specific expertise in girls on the autism spectrum? I just doing know who to turn to anymore. Services are limited in our borough (in SW London).
