Everything has an exact order, and any variation is disasterous. <br/><br/>I have to laugh. Can you put this to use by salting some unacceptable foods until they might become acceptable? We used to use lemon juice to soak up salt, for example: then perhaps you could add lemon to his list of foods. We line things up severely.

I don't know much about Autism, but we found each other for a reason on this internet, and now I intend to learn more about it. I will return. HI

Too much indeed. Our latest is lining up DVD cases at the breakfast table. Then scooping them all up and carrying them to the computer where her table is hardly sufficient for 10 DVD cases. I don't see the same ORDER so really, is it an OCD type of thing or just a gentle reminder of her future viewing choices? My other two do NOT line things up at all. And I knew what chips were. Really. Have I learned nothing from Harry Potter? You might explain treacle pudding though. Molasses?? :)<br/><br/>KIM Oh dear Lord WHAT a funny post! Too much indeed.

I don't think my Little Bug has ever gone for the salt before except to dump it out and then play in it. We used to have trouble with him only eating a few foods... but like you, we expanded our horizons... each different kind of cold sugar encrusted cereal is a different food. AND he will eat it with whole , 2%, 1% or skim milk. Which, also count. Sometimes ya just gotta get creative :) Hmmm… I don’t think my Little Bug has ever gone for the salt before except to dump it out and then play in it.

I found the battery charger plug. Will try to post more piccies this week. When they’re at school.

So are you saying he’ll only eat 20 things? Does he count them or does it just work out that way?
