Try reaching out to other moms with young kids on the spectrum.If anything it'll help you not feeling so alone.Bless you all!

[@raisingautism8214]

I’m actually on a list right now for a parent advisor from the place that diagnosed Emma so hopefully I hear from them soon

[@luhprimardani6368]

Hi,I came from Indonesia.i have son that on spectrum. We still give him meat and egg with 4 tsp rice that's blender and we always assist to feed him.

[@raisingautism8214]

Oh you blended it in like a smoothie ?

[@luhprimardani6368]

Ya , i blend veggies,egg,and chicken,rice and make it smoothie ,and feed him with soup spoon. If he eats too long like 3 hour,I reduce veggies,just the protein.I think egg very important for brain, development,protein for muscle n brain,and carb for energy

[@alexandriawilliams7812]

We are going through this currently, we haven’t had a diagnosis confirmed but she was part of our state program for early childhood intervention. Our daughter is almost 4 and everything we have watched on your daughter is ours to a T. I couldn’t help but cry when you talked about feeling lonely because for the longest time we haven’t met or seen anyone that is similar to her. Thank you for sharing your videos and I am so thankful to have found them!

[@raisingautism8214]

Thank you so much I really do appreciate that and definitely remember you’re not alone if you need to talk you can always message me on Instagram or here thank you so much!

Gummy Vitamins too & we have been through the same thing over the past 11 years! Everything will be great don't worry too much!

[@raisingautism8214]

Yes we do give her vitamins so hopefully that’s enough do you have any suggestions?

[@ReadySetAutismFamily]

@@raisingautism8214 When Melia was Emma's age we went through a very scary time. Melia was projectile vomiting. We went to the hospital and doctors several times. Nobody was really figuring anything out and just saying foolish things like she needs a cleaner environment 🤣 Eventually we found a doctor who found out by blood work it was celiac disease. That's an entirely different story. Anyways after we started giving her gluten free everything she started sleeping and eating much better. She must have been in so much pain for some time 😭. They say autism has a lot to do with the belly. I wouldn't rule out any type of food allergies going on.

[@raisingautism8214]

You’re right I think that I need to make a different appointment in this time maybe have her checked better to see if she has any stomach issues thank you so much

[@ReadySetAutismFamily]

@@raisingautism8214 Yw we sincerely care way beyond KZbin. Manda said to maybe just request 💩 or blood test. Please let us know what happens 🙏🏼

[@camillealmonte3271]

I have a 2 year old son who is very picky with eating some days it seems like he hardly eats anything and I get very worried and also stressed because I don't know what to do sometimes I feel alone in this situation and just in general because I have no mom friends or just really anybody I know to talk to you know for support. My Son has gone to behavioral development doctor but they have not said he has autism.

[@rachelmorgan9348]

My asd 3yr old non verbal he hardly eats anything at all im constantly stressing about his health hes has iron deficiency n vitamin b12 n vitamin c deficiency but doctors dont help me he wont eat fruit or vegetables or anything like yougart or moshie foods he wont drink any form of milk so i cant give supplement drinks i dont know what to do anymore he will only eat crackers toast nuggets n sausage rolls n pizza n hot chips ive am always trying healthy foods but as soon i get it in his mouth if i manage to he gags n vomits

[@shannoncarosi2389]

I feel your pain meal times were literally a battle three times a day with my son and I know it sounds cliché and you’ve probably heard before but the more effort you make the less they will eat! I’m telling you they sense your frustration and feel pressure so the less pressure you put on them to eat the better I feel what worked for me is taking the pressure off meal times always offering at least one preferred food that I know he will eat along with whatever else we are having for dinner I know also with my son feeling restricted and a high chair was a problem for him so we sit him right down at our kitchen table on the Regular chair unfortunately he will get up about 20 times but at least he’s eating and pleasant during meal times as long as her pediatrician says she’s doing OK don’t stress about the food another thing my doctor told me to was with children because they are such picky eaters don’t think of so much but they eat in one day but try to think of what they’re eating in a week because it’s not uncommon for children to skip meals. But trust me I feel your pain and good luck

[@raisingautism8214]

I love this thank you so much for the suggestions and I like the last part not to focus so much on what they’re eating per day but with her eating all week because I feel like that will take so much pressure off just focusing on each day

[@carolcanny4778]

Hello Good day, when my son's were young one would eat everything in site and my youngest nearly nothing. So i understand your frustration and concerns. Maybe try some individually wrapped snacks , like small boxes of raisins, fruit cereal bars, fruit roll ups, dry cereals, food that have fun shapes like macaroni and cheese. They do make Baby Shark mac-n-cheese it's worth a try and Dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets, SpaghettiOs, those frozen kid dinners fun/silly foods and you know most kids like french fries (baked or air fryer) Does Emma like pizza ? I use to make pizza on bread it's easy, quick and inexpensive to make. Even grill cheese. I hope and pray your sweet little cutie pie gets her appetite back, she will. You're an awesome mom !! Take Care 💝 Hugs Wishing you and your family a Happy, Wonderful, Safe, Prosperous, Blessed, Healthy, Less Stressful New Year ! Your Channel is great ! 🎇🎉⭐🙏💖

[@raisingautism8214]

Thank you so much for this I appreciate all the suggestions and happy New Year’s

[@shaunalea823]

I know the struggle w food and autism is very real, so many struggle w this. James has always has been a good eater. He doesn't over eat necissarily but he can eat pretty large portions. He only eats however 3xs a day so I don't over feed. I would think her therapist would be able to help give you advice w that and her sleep. This isn't hopeless even if it feels like it sometimes.

[@raisingautism8214]

Yes they’ve been suggesting advise and we’ve been trying but they suggest it just hasn’t been working we just have to keep trying and see if hopefully God willing she will eat better

[@shaunalea823]

@@raisingautism8214 yeah I hear you and i would say give it more than a few days. I know I don't have a clue nor do I know how much you try w the advise given but to from what I have leArned it usually takes up to a wk to see change w alot of things.

[@rosegray5645]

Will be praying for Emma.Hugs to her.

[@raisingautism8214]

Yes please pray I really would love for her to eat more thank you prayers 🙌🏻

[@corkipollock7617]

Of corse we understand how things can get hard and you not being able to video every day...Emma is so good with her little blocks😊

[@raisingautism8214]

Thank you so much and yes she is improving so much with her a little blocks and games it’s the cutest to watch

[@natalieatelj8697]

Oh wow she is awesome with her alphabet. I wish I could do this with my little girl. I’ve tried puzzles and other similar activities and all she ends up doing is throwing the pieces all over the place 😫

[@raisingautism8214]

Your daughter may just not be into that type of activities and they’re all very different on what type of activities they like maybe just see what other type of things she might be into What does she normally like to do on a day-to-day basis?

@@raisingautism8214 yes indeed, V

[@cristalmuniz6331]

My daughter goes through the same; eating everything and then all the sudden she only wants liquids. Her OT told me to only give her juice or anything sugary once a day, the rest of the day only water. Also to offer her food and if she doesnt want it at the moment to wait an hour or 2 and offer her the same food (so she learns to feel hungry). Is hard at the beggining but it has help tremendously with my daughter. I used to stress so much and used to make 3-4 meals at once to see what she wanted to eat. And it got to the point that she will know that I will give her what she wanted at the end so she used to not eat until then. So to break that cicle her OT made the above recommendation. You can also give her Pediasure as a supplement meal or Carnation Instant Breakfast.

[@raisingautism8214]

Thank you so much for this 🙏

[@Jia938]

Aww I hope she gets better soon with her eating.

[@raisingautism8214]

Thank you so much girl just pray that it gets better

[@Jia938]

@@raisingautism8214 yes girl will do, I know when my son is overly stimulated or constipated he wont eat. Is it something similar?

[@llrelyk]

Hey hun, My son is 4 and he has been going to feeding therapy since he was 2. My best advice would be to give her pediasure when she isn’t eating as a meal replacement until you can get her to eat. I had this same concern with my son, he completely stop eating at the age of 2. My son has a texture issue, an issue with colored foods (he only eat foods that are a vanilla/white color.) we got to a point last year where he would eat baby foods (like veggies & fruit) but he regressed and where starting all over again with yogurt. I’m a single mom and it hard so I can imagine how you feel. Right now his goal is 3 sessions of 3 bites and he earns a reward (his iPad, or a sweet) and it’s been working. We use a special spoon and nook incase we have to insert the food into his mouth but we keep him in a high chair for all his meals.

[@raisingautism8214]

Yes we’ve been adding Pedicure her to her smoothies That way she gets some type of protein

[@TheLeighkamira]

Do you have an email for business inquiries?

[@raisingautism8214]

It’s on my description [e-mail]

[@embeetoast2211]

I was having the same feeding issues with my son. I read a book called “French Kids Eat Everything” and it had a lot of helpful tips in it that helped me with getting my son to eat actual food. Worth a read if you have the time but hang in there! This too shall pass.

[@raisingautism8214]

I definitely won’t like to look into that thank you so much for the suggestion

[@courtneybrowning6182]

The other thing you can do is put pictures of foods on cards she will show you what she wants.

[@raisingautism8214]

She normally does this once a month where she goes on a hunger strike and won’t eat even if we show her the favorite foods or even snacks

[@courtneybrowning6182]

@@raisingautism8214 Oh ok she is in there she actually does know what she is doing. I was non verbal until I was 6 my parents did something different instead of asking parents of kids with my disability they instead asked people with my disability on how to handle me. Generally most parents with kids with autism have a hard time understanding us so they did the opposite of that actually asked us how to help people like us. And today I own my house I manage 2 night clubs drive cook and I am pretty much like every one else. She will open up to you eventually. But let her eat when she wants to instead of getting her trying to eat. Make sure she has liquids of course but yea she will eat when she is ready to Mum and dad said I did Same thing they just made sure and liquids and yea they let me eat when I was hungry. It’s more to do with a stomach they said it became sensitive to foods so yea they wouldn’t force me to eat. Now I’m fine of course but yea.

[@jarlightdrawing]

I know how you feel mama my son barley eats anything he has like 6-7 things he will eat mostly crunchy and snack stuff he does strikes once and while and only wants milk or juice sometimes we go see the doctor and they say strep throat or sore throats or tell us to give him probiotics but honestly all his life he has had ear infections and strep throats but i don’t think thats causing his food issues i think its all sensory 🤷🏻‍♀️ hopefully soon we can get some feeding therapy ❤️ lifting up prayers for you guys!

[@raisingautism8214]

Yes it can definitely be sensory I’ve also been looking at to see if it’s like a gut issue maybe she’s having stomach Thank you so much for this I am I feel less alone when I hear other parents are also dealing with this

[@agirlandhercows501]

one day at a time great video

[@raisingautism8214]

Thank you so much

[@wrenl2944]

Could it be her tummy was upset? With the change due to Christmas, may have caused an excitement that changed her system. As I recall at Thanksgiving her eating declined too, I don’t think as much-or you didn’t mention-. I totally understand how is stresses you however remember little ones sense our vibes❤️. So glad her tastebuds liked something. Keep up the great work.

[@raisingautism8214]

She does this once a month or sometimes even more than that where she goes three or four days without wanting to eat any of her regular foods and then she goes back to eating them after like five days or four days I don’t know why she does that
