hi and thanks for the replys bd what you say about texture makes a lot of sense because he will eat yogurts which are wet but will not at anything else wet, his diet is mainly dry yorkshire puds fishfingers he would live on crisp if i allowed not a big sweet fan as in jellys but likes biscuts, i have never made him eat want he says he doesnt like and he did try and explain that it felt funny in his mouth so that is why i was thinking texture, i think it is mostly to do with change and he panics as soon as i say lets try something new today, i think i wont tell him but put a few options on his plate not touching of course are i will contaminate his meal. justine that is realy sad that your ex did that to your son i bet you were in tears at meal times i have told george about your son having spageti and he says he will try that tommorrow as long as he can spit out if he dosent like i also hope you are feeling a bit better and manage to get your washer sorted. hi trekster i afraid he always no when something different is on his plate he will smell the food then have a fit if i dont remove thanks for the advise on the books i will look into these, i have taken to dr and spoke to chams about this but they say he will try new and varied diet as he gets older i think i proberly stress to much about it he is on vitamins and he is not a small boy for his age but his range of food is mostly dairy. it just when i do give him new foods and he reacts like he did it makes me feel like poo, but i think also you were right with the tension thing he is proberly picking up on me being stressed and baddad you are right he wasnt sick so i will keep trying new thing i might look into a different diet altogher i think there is advise on here to ween him off dairy i will have a nose around, but once again thanks for all your advise i feel better in myself now for not being an evil mummy lol cheers theresa

hi i have just tryed some boiled rice on george age 7 because i am trying realy slowly to get him to eat more food groups in his diet which at the mo is not good, it just upsets me so much he had one spoonfull which was great and he said he loved it then he started gaging i thought he was going to be sick, i feel so guilty when this happens because i no this will happen but i should keep trying shouldnt i ???? he has never had any veg real meat potatoes so far and i just worry, the only meat he has ever eaten is a burger yuk, but i feel just rotten when i beg him to try just one new thing. any ideas and do other people children gag when trying new food i no it is a lot to do with textures but i keep away from any i think he will hate he also only eats dry food no wet. theresa

hi justine when george was that age he wouldnt keep blankets on so we bought a sleep bag it didnt have arms in,it had poppers on the shoulder are buttons i cannot remember but this was a great buy, i dont know if sleep bag is the right name but all baby shops do these george was in his for a further 2 yrs because they are quite long and it was a god send at the time, i could sleep without waking each hour to cover him up , good luck and i hope this is of some help to you theresa

hi today was the 1st day back to school and the bloming thing is shut due to snow, ds has been stressing about going back saying he does not need school anymore ok at 7 yrs old you dont need school i dont think so, anyway he is now boncing off the walls and whoooooooooooping for more snow lol i have also had to call work and tell them the good news that i wont be coming in they were so pleased (not) i will have to have one of those silly back to work thingys now which i dont like, but hey it could be worse, going to build snowmen and have snowball fights all day now, theresa

hi sally thanks for your replys, i am going to make an appointment with the head tommorrow, and then senco, george has never had any outside help at all, i have requested his iep i have not had one since he was in reception, i asked for one of his yr 1 teacher and he said it had not change d since reception so didnt update!! i have also requested that they contact the local act team who i have spoken with and would be happy to come into and see george, i am writing down all the info you guys have written on here and going in for armed which i hope will help my case, pp have said they will attend meeting with me but i am going to this one on my own first, i will keep you posted but thanks again for all your help theresa

hi and thanks for the replys i went into school today and asked for georges iep which they havent got but are going to do me one now i have also told them that at the end of this term we will be getting act in for assesment and that i will be going for a statement thanks for all the advise you have given me on this i never slept last night because of this and i feel ilike i am letting my son down but hopefully something might start happening now i will keep you all posted. jsmum he is not getting any support at school he has been on sa+ for 6mths now but they keep saying he is coping fine, i no he is well behaved but also feel he is left behind a little because of his behavour. if that makes sense also the school told me that they dont think he would get a statement. once again thanks for all your replys theresa

hi i have been into ds school today for a meeting with his yr 2 teacher, she says he is a very good boy, helpful ect, which is nice to hear, then we got on to his work for his reading and writing he is 1c which i think is quite behind i did ask her about this and she says he will be fine, then she showed me a maths test he did and he only got 1/2 point out of 20 which suprised us both because he realy likes maths, i did explain that working on the whiteboard he is great but putting pen to paper is a problem, i did sugest getting act in to help out and give them some pointers but she feels this is unnessery at the mo, he is on action school plus what do you all think should i push for more help for him any advise would be greatful thanks theresa ps ds is dx with asd

hi A and A sorry your emotions all over the place at the mo, <'> i know how you feel my ds was dx in march this year with moderate asd i was expecting this dx but i still find myself crying somedays not when he is around, then i tell myself to stop because i have the most fantastic son any mother could wish for he is a loving individual who i wouldnt change for the world, i try and put things into propective ie he isnt physicaly ill like some poor children he is healthy, i take each day as it comes with george because i am aware that some little change can make him sad as he puts its, please dont beat yourself up because you feel upset and cannot accept this dx at present you will, take each day as it comes and enjoy your son he hasnt changed it is just an dx, i often just stop what i am doing to watch him play and feel myself smiling within, sorry if this reply isnt making much sence to you at the moment i am not to good with words and emotions myself, but belive me i no how you feel please be gentle with yourself. takecare theresa x

hi he keeps asking me if he can be peter pan bless him, i just dont no how to explain the getting older thing anymore. he wont accept anything i say at the mo. theresa x

hi thanks for the replys, i cannot think of anything about being 6 which is triggering this , he seems so upset about 7 the closest i have got to it is the juniors at school he says he is not going to be a junior and i keep telling him he isnt because he is to young, i keep reasuring him that nothing will change but he is not in a very good lisening mood latley, he just keeps making funny noises when speaking to him or says he isnt lisening, i think the cup cake idea is great and will offer to do this with him, i have also told him he can do what ever he likes on this day but he will not do anything he wants no presents or cards and says he will have a present at xmas, i think the giving him the presents after the day is a good idea as well, my dh thinks it is something to do with death and growing old because he keeps asking his nan if she is going to die and then starts to cry, he is also into churches and graveyards at the moment which he has never been into b4, he loves wwe and we have asked him if he wants anything to do with this ( we no he is desparate for the full scale ellimination chamber sorry you have to be into wwe to no what i am going on about ) but he is also refusing this for a present, we have always keeped his b/day low key due to this but we have always had a cake and prezzies b4, i dont realy no what to do i am dreading the day getting closer, but thanks for the replys and the hug bid. theresa x

hi just thought i would post this if anybody is interested in watching i think this is the program which one of the forums member is on. thanks theresa x

hi can any body suggest anything to help me in this matter, my ds george will be 7 in sept and for the last year he has been saying he is not having a b/day, he is a bit like this with each b/day over the last few yrs, but this time he is realy getting upset about it, i keep asking him why it is so upsetting when he will get new toys and presents ect and have tryed all the well you no so and so is 7 now and they havent changed, but nothing is working , he wants no presents no cake nothing, and when i mention the dreaded date he crys and i mean cry, my heart feels like it is breaking i cannot let the day go by with nothing, he has never had a party for his b/day so i no its not that because he couldnt cope with one, all i am getting out of him is that he dosnt want to get taller!!!!! if anybody has this same problem and have worked a way round this your advise would be great, thanks for taking time to read my post. bit sad at mo theresa x
