Thanks, ,We tried this with a speech therapist but it only worked for a while. To: autism-aspergers Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 8:02 PM Subject: Re: S.E.D.

Hi :

Welcome to the group! My son is 5 and had some issues with his diet too so we addressed those areas through a speech pathologist/speech therapy at the same place that handled my son's sensory/occupational therapy. They helped us a lot and his feeding problems are now considered a "resolved" issue.

We started with small amounts of foods he didn't like along with foods he ate readily. They basically baby-stepped him into eating things. It's starts with smelling, then a tiny taste (maybe a lick) and the a bite (maybe without chewing and swallowing). It takes a lot of positive reinforcement and cueing but after a bit I was able to do it at home until his diet wasn't so limited. Mine had a huge problem with certain textures...They confirm also make sure that there's no issues with chewing, tongue reflexes, etc.

Oh, and mine still prefers lemonade and juice over water so I give him a "splash" in most drinks. :-)

My 9 yr old grandson with PDD-NOS has a lot of issues, although he's high functioning in a regular classroom with support, but the one that drives me crazy is what I now know is Selective Eating Disorder. Evidently a lot of kids on the spectrum are picky eaters and some have this disorder. He has very little appetite and is rarely thirsty...but will only drink milk when he is, or Gator Ade. He eats mostly white foods and very limited diet...pasta, cheese, certain kind of pizza and certain kind of nuggets. Apples and pears and pumpkin pie are his fruit/veggie! Anybody else deal with this? (By the way, I am his legal guardian, having raised him since infancy)

I have a child who was addicted to processed foods and heard that kids with

autism who are hooked on certain foods are in fact often sensitive to or

allergic to those foods, specifically gluten and casein, the milk protein.

Honestly I thought it sounded like an urban myth but I thought I might as well

try. I was shocked by what I found. My son, when gluten, dairy, and corn free,

quit wetting the bed and became more pleasant to be around. It did not make his

Aspergers go away, but it made him easier to be with. And now that he is free

of the foods that were problems for him, I have realized they were making him

sick all the time. One exposure to gluten or corn or dairy, and he will

generally get a headache and have an upset stomach, and he will definitely wet

the bed. And it doesn't take a lot, just a small exposure. I think he was

previously always feeling a low level of sick, and removing the problem foods

makes it possible to feel better. So that's my long way of saying your child

may be seeking out the very foods that are most harmful to his system. You might

try gluten and casein free versions of the foods your child craves, and see if

that helps. But if you do try gluten and casein free, it does need some

commitment because one little slip can stay in the system for several days. The

way I tried it was just committing to one month to see what happens. One other

thing that happened for me was I discovered I am also gluten intolerant. A

chronic backache I had had for eight years went away when I went gluten free and

I also quit having frequent migraines. I don't think it's a solution for

everyone, but for us it was a big step in the right direction. And my child has

a problem with corn, but i dont think that was is as common as the other two, so

i would start there. Good luck.

Hello , the eating habits you mention reminds me of my grandson

Luke. He is 7 1/2 now and in second grade. He mostly has eaten chocolate

milk all this time but does eat some cereals, some pasta if he's in the

mood, cheese pizza, chicken and fish, cheese, sometimes a nugget or two.

His mom makes his lunch every day for school and in it she puts a yogurt

drink he likes usually, a white cookie, and Sunny D which is orange

juice. So there he sits eating his cookie and Sunny D while the other

kids are getting real food. I do worry about his eating and want him to

eat more but there is no way to force him. And too he is quite tall and

big for his age all I can attribute it to is all that milk, when he was

younger he literally lived on many bottles of chocolate milk he drank

with a baby bottle.

Just lately the boy is driving us all nuts with his love for movies,

yesterday I actually sat and watched part of " Men in Black " with him, a

very weird movie with aliens in it. He sits and rocks on the love seat

and giggles like a maniac to this movie and also to both I and II of

" War of the Worlds. " His mom recently got him a tri-pod model, she had

to bribe him with it so he'd go back to school after Christmas break.

She told him if he goes willingly without fits she would get it for him.

It took over a week to be delivered and he just loves the thing, treats

it so reverently and takes it wherever he goes. Yesterday he was

explaining to me the baskets that the people go into after they are

scooped off the ground and then drinks their blood and spits their

bodies out!

I know it is hideous but he just laughs and laughs and rocks. Sigh. His

mother my daughter is also a movie nut, when I showed concern yesterday

about it, she said, " Do you remember how I loved Grease? " And I had to

admit she watched it like a thousand times and did a play of it for her

5th grade class, a whole play acting out every part herself. It was

pretty amazing. And her oldest child was a nut about " Wizard of Oz " when

she was little and had to watch it every day for quite awhile.

When Lucas isn't watching the movie then he is acting out the characters

like he is stuck in the movie. If somebody does not understand this they

may really wonder what is going on with him.

Wonder how he is doing at school today, can't watch any movies there!

Carolyn, in Oregon, also have a grown son with issues all his life here

living with me.

Hello, Carolyn in Oregon,Your grandson DOES sound like he eats like mine. But mine rarely gets sick and is growing, so he must be ok...Kids on the spectrum get fixated on the strangest things sometimes...Men In Black, eg. Well, two grandsons with Aspergers were fixated on all the Star Wars movies and characters and Legos for a long time. Now they are obsessed with computers.Has your grandson showed any interest in trains, Legos or blocks? These are usually interesting to Aspies.

Hi, when he was younger he played with letters and blocks and has some

Leggos at home but not sure how much he plays with them. And about

trains I bought him a real nice electric train for Christmas and here it

sits on my dining room table. I was thinking he would like a train

because last year at the fair he showed a lot of interest in a big model

train display they had and I told him I would get him one. I noticed

though that the first time we got it all together and turned it on he

was freaked out about the noise it made and asked me to turn it off. I

am trying to get him used to it. I should have known he would not like

the noise because he already had those little engines you use on wooden

tracks and always had a fit when they made noise. At church where they

had pre-school they had a set and the teacher had to take the batteries

out for him. He also has never liked other noisy toys. Maybe at the

model train display it was just such a big room they were in that the

noise did not seem so loud to him.

Anyway I am working on it, the place I bought the train, Eugene Toy and

Hobby said they have a lot of autism people who like trains. He does

like the houses and villages, etc. took half my Christmas village home

with him this year. Oh well I don't mind. Lucas also loves " Star Wars "

and knows all the stories and characters by heart, he dressed as General

Grevious for Halloween from one of them, ugly guy, he seems like the

ugly one, the uglier the better actually.

Awhile ago he came over here after school and his mother had to go to

the doctor and I was trying to be all friendly and chatty but he was

deep into his rocking and playing out of the movie and did not want to

be disturbed and was rather rude. I told him he hurt my feelings, and he

said " I don't give a damn oabout your feelings. " Wow, so I just let him

rock awhile, etc. and then he came out of it and was just fine and real

sweet and nice for a couple more hours.

Was going to say, my son called as I was typing, that Lucas doesn't seem

to realize how intense his words may sound. He uses a lot of expressions

and words out of these movies and I was surprised at how much they

actually cuss in them. Wish they wouldn't there's no need for it. So

when he told me he didn't give a damn about my feelings I think he was

in the character of the alien in the Men in Black, as they are not very

nice.

Just cannot be really touchy around these children, and not take what

they say personally as I am sure he didn't mean it the way it sounded.

Yes, they do mimic what they hear, so sometimes it's wise to select carefully what they watch or see. My older grandson used to recite commercials and if he read a book, he could tell you word for word what was on whatever page you picked. They do have a gift for certain things. Your grandson is overly sensitive to noise of any kind so it's understandable that he wouldn't like blocks which make a loud bang when dropped or Legos which make a lot of noise rattling around a box. He probably would do well with touchy feely toys like soft rubbery squishy balls and soft stuffed toys. Some Aspies don't like any toys at all.

We have banned Spongebob years ago because of the rude way they talk. We also don't allow most stuff on the Cartoon Network because most of them are questionable on a good day. We allow most Disney and Nickelodeon but not all. Really my kids don't sit and watch TV (not because of me or my views...just because they are not that interested).

yup, I'm thinking I'm going to have to figure out a way to "wean" mine off of some TV shows that have the "kung fu" type kicking and stuff...spongebob too because they say, "stupid, dumb, idiots" and mine seems to repeat what he hears and what he sees (he's 5)...even the dancing/gymnastic moves from lazy town....well, he tries but can't do them. It's cute though. But mine will get stuck on certain shows and then insist that we watch the same episode or movie over and over...he's doing it now with some youtube videos by kidstv 123 but these are at least about the planets/solar system...sigh.

I hate sponge bob and the mom's I talk to don't get it!! I'm glad someone does. I also don't like CN and Nickelodeon isn't my fav either. We like the Qubo channel and Disney is ok too, but my kids are beyond most of their early morning programming (except their pirate show---they still love that) Hate that theme song!!! Their is a kid's game show channel we have but I just cannot think of the name of it off the top of my head....My son's fav show right now is Ninjago and even though their is a battle aspect to it there is no bad language, or aggression demonstrated. Good show for boys....!!! My kids though aren't allowed to watch TV from Mon-Fri when they get home from school That time is for education, books and to do other things w/ your mind!! They

are allowed computer time, no DS, no portable DVD player, etc. Games during the week have to be educational games. I have a huge list of education websites if anyone's interested My son LOVES electronics and I love education and making the mind work/ exercise for the mind. We meet in the middle I do DVR stuff for them to watch on the weekends that is only seen during the week, so they really don't miss out on during the week programming. They like their shows just like I like my shows LOL Tucker

Yes, we like Qubo too. I forgot about that one. We went to visit my dad last summer. While we were there my nephew came over (3 1/2yrs). My dad watches him. They sat down and watched Sponge Bob. As soon as it came on both my kids got up and left the room. My dad got this puzzled look on his face and asked why they didn't want to watch the show. I told him that we don't allow that show because they don't talk appropriately. My dad didn't see it. I tried to encourage my nephew to go play too but this is something that he and Papa do together.

What is considered 'appropriate' varies a lot.  I have noticed that

things that cause a fuss on US television hardly rate a mention here

in Australia.  When it comes to language, I guess it depends on what

you are brought up with.  I know a lot of friction can be caused

when families get together and one parent will insist that no one

watches the shows they don't want their kids to watch.  Especially

if it is in someone else's home.  Sometimes you have to compromise a

bit when you're not at home.  I may not always like how my relatives

bring up their kids, but it isn't my place to say so.  Some of them

think it is their place to tell us how to raise our kids.  Perhaps

that is why I am somewhat sensitive about this.  Computer games

seems to be the other area that causes friction.  It's nothing new. 

About 30 years ago I invited a friend home for a holiday.  I

remember him causing a stir when he got up and turned a TV show off

because he considered it to be 'unChristian', and therefore, as a

Christian family, we could not watch it.  My sister was highly

offended and said so.  I am still friends with him, and my sister

still will not talk to him.  He still has not learnt to keep quiet,

which may be why his two oldest kids have both left home after

rather heated arguments.  When he knows someone is doing something

'wrong' and they know (or should know) that it is wrong, he just has

to say so.  And he doesn't have AS as an excuse.

I can't comment on Sponge Bob - neither of my kids ever wanted to

watch it.

 

Yes, we like Qubo too. I forgot about

that one.  We went to visit my dad last

summer. While we were there my nephew came

over (3 1/2yrs). My dad watches him. They

sat down and watched Sponge Bob. As soon as

appropriately. My dad didn't see it. I tried

,One of the reasons why I mind Spongebob and other shows like it it because two of my children tend to repeat the inappropriate words. Also, I find the aggressive shows tend to make my children (even my daughter) more hyper for a while watching the show. I need calmness in my house with one that is off the charts aggressive (before or after meds especially). We don't do yoga (doesn't exactly mesh with Catholic philosophies) but we practice breathing techniques and relaxing our muscles, etc. To: autism-aspergers Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 12:42 AM Subject: Re: Re: S.E.D.

The diet you describe is not horrible -- pumpkin pie - a carotene rich squash, in spite of the egg cream sugar component is not the worst only vegetable a kid might choose. Pears and apples are excellent, especially if local and organic (ie, nutrients not bled out of them). Pasta, pizza, and chicken nuggets are okay. I use a whole wheat breaded one that is actually delicious - "Health is Wealth" brand. Flour is iron enriched... The only thing I would worry about is the Gatorade, water it way down and wean him off it. Try to find a jiuce that isn't artificially colored, w/o high fructose corn syrup.I come from a family of people who go on years long jags of narrow food choices -- the body seems to change direction here and there as it needs. But over a lifetime they seem to manage without becoming malnourished or overweight. Awww, sorry, - that's a shame but at least you tried. Wish I could help more and hopefully someone else can share what worked for them. Good luck :-) > > > > Hi, Everybody, > > I'm brand new to the group, so if this has been discussed before, I apologize. My 9 yr old grandson with PDD-NOS has a lot of issues, although he's high functioning in a regular classroom with support, but the one that drives me crazy is what I now know is Selective Eating Disorder.

...we could be twins! We seem a lot alike.

We don't do yoga either. We are not Catholics but we are Christians and don't like they whole Yoga 'philosophy'. You could try this program. They have a kids DVD that my kids liked. http://praisemoves.com/

Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.

yup, I'm thinking I'm going to have to figure out a way to "wean" mine off of some TV shows that have the "kung fu" type kicking and stuff...spongebob too because they say, "stupid, dumb, idiots" and mine seems to repeat what he hears and what he sees (he's 5)...even the dancing/gymnastic moves from lazy town....well, he tries but can't do them. It's cute though. But mine will get stuck on certain shows and then insist that we watch the same episode or movie over and over...he's doing it now with some youtube videos by kidstv 123 but these are at least about the planets/solar system...sigh.

Yes, we like HUB too. They have some good shows. Unfortunately my son is getting older and won't watch many of the 'good' shows anymore. Lol

My NT son is 8 and my AS daughter is 15. My son still watches some shows on HUB. He likes GI Joe, Transformers, Batman... I don't know if he has seen the family game night. I'll record it for him.
