Apples are the one fruit that Nick will eat.. with the skin off! :)<br />Have a lovely Sunday. xxBright Side of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025195022971411268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-5826917593601689842012-05-19T09:19:51.175-07:002012-05-19T09:19:51.175-07:00Totally agree that it's sensory.

He was so skinny and self- limited to a ridiculous degree! I also feel that all their other issues...anxiety, lack of language etc;...has an impact. Over the years, as all the interventions began to work he was more open to my 'try it and see' approach. It's funny 'cos not having any info to help me I hit on this approach and went slowly from getting him sniffing,licking then finally tasting! One spoonful, or sniff, was rewarded with an enormous amount of praise!! Today my boy will try most foods. He even *shock horror* tolerates a couple of bites of an apple...with the skin on!!<br /><br />Never give up ;-)<br /><br />xx Jazzyjazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-70937170601079641442012-05-19T03:06:33.102-07:002012-05-19T03:06:33.102-07:00@Mischal ~ To me, the approach sounds very gentle ...@Mischal ~ To me, the approach sounds very gentle and slow moving, which suits us perfectly. I am sure that I won't have anything to report for a long time!!! :) x<br /><br />@Blue Sky ~ Crumbs, and I only have one kid to worry about! How do you manage with three? I also want to be relaxed about introducing new food to Nick so we are going to take it slowly! xBright Side of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025195022971411268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-60990510029710030362012-05-19T00:09:46.458-07:002012-05-19T00:09:46.458-07:00Very interesting Di, I have a range of food-relate...Very interesting Di, I have a range of food-related issues here, and it's my daughter with cerebral palsy who I think has the most sensory issues, then my NT dd who doesn't like the texture of fruit of all things. In relation to my son with aspergers, I think a lot of his food refusal is about control (and I think it was in case when I was a little girl) so I just relax about it so that he doesn't 'win'. It sounds like this technique would help a lot of children on the spectrum though xLooking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-65290957801997077112012-05-18T22:29:04.869-07:002012-05-18T22:29:04.869-07:00funnily enough that was the basis of the long outd...funnily enough that was the basis of the long outdated Doman Delcato method to sensory issues, We used it quite successfully with a boy with some extreme smell behaviours and eating issues.
