my son who is 4 and 1/2 has autism and is non verbal. over the last week his eating has slowed practically to a stop.
today he ate a wee drop of my porridge at breakfast (a few spoonfulls).
a boiled egg at lunchtime.
and nothing at tea time.
he is drinking ok.
he usually only moves his bowels once a week. (we have seen doctors, paed, paed nurse, who have checked him re this).
i keep trying him with various foods i know he likes or has eaten in the past, and with new stuff too.
he doesnt really feed himself, although will very occasionally pick up a bit of toast if he REALLY fancies it.
anyone had or have similar problems? and what to do about it? am beginning to get worried.
