I am wondering if any parents have had issues with their children not eating or only eating certain foods. My daughter is 3 1/2 with ASD and she is to the point where she will only drink milk. She is particular about the milk and I have a hard time hiding things in them milk. On occasion she will eat some animal crackers or cheez-its but we are down to just milk.

We have an appointment with a nutritionist but I am looking for some parental support as well and how parents have worked with their children.

She is in OT and attends SpEd PreSchool so she is receiving therapy?s to help with her food sensitivity but I am really getting worried and stressed that she is not getting all the nutrients she needs. Her Pediatrician doesn't seem as concerned since she is just below average for hight and weight.

I have learned to follow my heart with my kids and feel there is more I can do. Does anyone have experiences or ideas they would like to share.
