Food Aversion

Food Aversion

"She'll eat if she's hungry enough."
"Give her to me for a week. I'll get her to eat."
"She doesn't have a problem eating when it's French fries."
"She's so thin. You should give her Ensure."
"I totally get it. My son won't eat broccoli."
"What if you made her a sticker chart?"
I've heard them all before. Some good-natured and some not so much. The advice regarding my daughter's food aversion has been many things but it has never been helpful. I can't blame folks for their futile attempts. The fact is, they know little about autism and food aversion and if I want to stop hearing the above comments everywhere I go, I better do something about that.
