I thought they were triplets..or maybe we're talking about different stories.The pics i saw were of a very obese woman and her kids who were consuming double the recommended amount of calories for their age.Apart from removing the batter from her fish and chips ,she reckoned it was better they were overweight than anorexic.Odd logic whatever way you look at it

My youngest son is now 14, he will eat nothing but chicken dippers and chips, he is 5'11" and as healthy as they come. I used to really worry about it, try and introduce new foods etc., until I got to the stage I worried myself sick. My brother was the same at that age, and he grew out of it at the age of about 25. I do have 3 other kiddies who all eat normally, and havn't done anything differently, he's just a pain in the bottom. Still secretly worried tho' Frowner

Eeker He sounds EXACTLY the same as my son PJ. He was always a fussy eater, I had to stay in hospital longer than normal because he wouldn't feed properly. When very young the only thing he would eat was rice pudding, not through lack of trying on my part I add. He then survived on cream crackers for the next few years and then onto nuggets and chips. Worried the hell out of me.

He's now 17, 6 foot and very slim. But he's reached an age he knows he needs to try other foods. The first day he ate lasagne I was so exctied I took a picture of it on my phone. Laugh Unfortunately he wouldn't eat it again after having it twice? Confused

I've spoken to him about it in depth and he says it's texture not taste that he hates changing.

I'm not sure if you're asking PJ or me BB.... but as far as my son goes, maybe? Only mildly though.... he's very introverted and has a tendancey to be obsessional about topics he is interested in. He's gone through a Titanic stage, a volcano stage and for the past four or five years it's been 9/11. It's not enough to effect his life too much though, and a lot of good has come from it. Through his fascination of 9/11 came a love for architecture and he taught himself to do 3d-computer modelling and now makes money from this. I reckon all highly successful people have these tendencies...so I'm looking forward to being looked after well in the near future. Wink Laugh

Hello Ducky, yes I was asking you. Your post rang a loud bell with me as my daughter is textbook autistic and what you described regarding your son brought back memories of the problems we had with her from birth as regards eating and drinking.

She not only had problems with the texture of food but also the colour of food and drinks. We were left to muddle through the best way we could, but I would expect that in this day and age there may be good advice out there for anyone with eating disorders such as what you describe. It CAN be overcome, my daughter has proved this. Unfortunately though, in her case the entire food/drink thing belongs to a much larger picture owing to her being severely autistic and the texture/colour problem was just one particular problem to be overcome.

Hug It must be difficult BB.

It wasn't till you asked that I thought anything of it. As a teacher we've had training on recognising students who could possibly be on the autistic spectrum so have always had a feeling that he had slight tendencies, but as I say it's very mild and although it makes socialising difficult it's managable. I'd never thought to associate his eating problems with it though, so thanks for the information. I'll look into it. He would never agree to seeing someone face to face about it but I'm sure there's plenty of info and help available on the web. Hug
Ducky
