The struggle to feed my three boys with #Autism and #SPD

The struggle to feed my three boys with #Autism and #SPD

I've written about this before but I wanted to provide some *texture* if you will, to what I've been saying.

One of my biggest frustrations is life is simply trying to feed my kids.  The struggle isn't the absence of food either.  It's the challenge of finding food that they will tolerate well enough to eat.

There is nothing easy about this and my kids will literally go hungry before eating something that is deemed sensory offensive.

Below is what I managed to get each of them to eat for lunch. Quite frankly, I'm surprised that some of these dishes actually work.

Gavin is eating a bowl of yogurt, mixed with berries, bananas, chocolate chips and kashi cereal. I personally EST this all the time and really enjoy it.  This is the first time that Gavin tried this.

Emmett is eating strawberry cream and apple/cinnamon oatmeal mixed together with chocolate chips.

Elliott is eating dry Ramon Noodles.

Three different meals for three different kids.  While this may work today, it may never work again.  :-(
