Im very concerned… my 3 year old who is reffered for asd (long story they didnt refer him when he was 2 and now everything is delayed) was a very good eater ate all his meals and snack. Since beginning of october he started to loose interest in all his food and was living on muffin and milk for 2 weeks. The past 5 days he has not eaten any form of solid… just milk. He refuses water, pedeasure juice… i contracted gp they sent me a&e to which the a&e said why are you here your gp needs to do referal we cannot help you as observations show he is fine. He has lost 500gram of weight. Im concerned because he seems less active as he usually does and just wants to lie, the dr said they will make referral to the peads but they can reject or see him.. im just lost, sad, i cry everyday because he just doesn’t want to look at the food and keeps pushing it away. He is soo hungry but refuses.
Any asd mums out there please can you advise. I have read into sensory issues with food but these are foods he has eaten his whole life… he has no diagnosis and im worried once they get medical part out of the way will the provide support with behavioural…
