My DS is 9 and diagnosed ASD is overweight for his age and doesn't really like to be physically active for a long time without rest. He is constantly hungry and always asking for something to eat. This was the same when he was having bottles ( he didn't stop having them till about age 6) I know alot of this is my fault but if you know the struggle you know. Mealtimes have always been a consistent so he always knows when he will eat, he is quite fussy but the things he does like he would happily have everyday, and always finishes everything on his plate even licks the sauce of the plate clean! Straight after he will ask for something else, he never seems satisfied, it's constant every single day he even sneaks treats upstairs the other week he had eaten 4 wispa bars we didn't even know he had them. He gets in such a bad mood if I say no to him, he has strong memories of being with his grandma and him eating Jaffa cakes which he talks about all the time. It comes across like I'm starving him and that's how I feel most of the time with how much he begs I feel like he must be hungry because he keeps on asking. I can't keep everything out of his reach he will climb up and get things from cupboards. He has access to healthy foods all the time but nothing seems to stop this obsession. Even at night time when I say no he will say ' even just a cracker? Even just an orange ? ' Is this something anyone has experienced? Is it worth me speaking to GP? He does tend to listen to professionals he has been drinking water daily since the dentist reinforced it. Any advice is appreciated.
