Getting my kids with #Autism to eat is so difficult

Lately, it's been more difficult than ever to get Emmett to eat or drink anything.  I really try to accommodate his needs but it's not easy or cheap.  This goes way beyond picky eating and is sensory related, not to be confused with a child being difficult. I did get Emmett to eat some sausage tonight and that's pretty much the bulk of what he's eaten today.  He had a granola bar earlier and I had to mix up some Gatorade, just to get him to drink something.  He was getting dehydrated and while Gatorade is full of sugar, it's something. I don't make a huge deal out of it because I don't want to pressure him and make it worse.  I can go grocery shopping in about a week…
