Anyone elses child have serious psychological compulsive issues around food?

[staydazzling]

My youngest child 6 years has had this issue forever really, the lock on the kitchen he can unlock now, easily the other day he was like its ok mum ive locked the door and put the chair infront, not fully understanding its him im trying to keep out! im on my own with another aspergers child, i just feel so powerless wtf do i do now?

Where are you based? GOSH Geeding Disorder team accept referrals for binge and over eating. No magic wand though. My friends son ASD with LD is similar. Our DS is the classic aspie picky eater- they were much more interested in working with my friends son long term as there’s not much research on the over eating side. Have you ruled out things like Pradeep Willi?

Prader not Pradeep!

Yorkshire tartan, my eldest is the same an aspie, picky eater. Yeah theyre isnt, i dont think theres much at all, and in rural areas like mine you can struggle for anything resource wise, i just feel.as if im banging my head against a brick wall.

I dont think its Prader Willi, true prada willi is very rare i bet often its ASD its conflated with. Plus, my sibling with severe asd has a similar issue.

You could call the GOSH people and ask for advice on whether to ask to see them or someone nearer. Otherwise Birmingham and Gillian Harris’ team might be nearer?
