Trying to keep my very picky eater 3yo healthy as we’re (hopefully) expanding his diet. Right now the only foods I can get him to actually eat are McDonald’s, a specific brand of yogurt, banana bread, some crackers and some bars. Refuses any beverage besides water. (He’s likely on the spectrum.)

    He’ll eat when he gets hungry enough

    Says every person who has no experience with or knowledge of autistic people yet thinks they know better…

              Diagnosing your child has autism from WebMD, and not going to get a professional evaluation is the same as calling yourself a car because you stood in a garage

                Advising a parent to torture a child over food is piss poor advice to start with but when the parent has identified possible autism, you realise you know less than nothing and shut the fuck up.

                  That is the most smooth brain opinion ever. Telling your child they will be having something other than McDonald’s for dinner is not torture, it’s good parenting.
