[QUOTE="EStephens, post: 545818, member: 15028"] To answer some questions, and sorry I will miss some I know, 1- yes we have tried a lower dosage of ADHD medications but it seems that is he has any medications at all he is not hungry. My difficult child is quite amazing in the fact that he and I try to find words where we understand each other, regardless how silly we sound. He has told me before that he does not understand the need to snack or eat when a person is bored. The snack is over soon and you are still bored. (he didn't get this from his chubby momma that is for dang sure!!) 2- getting difficult child to eat PERIOD is difficult. He has a problem with the way some foods feel in his mouth. Oddly, he adores Ramen Noddles and Raviolis, so we try new foods and of they don't work, we go back to ol reliable. 3-I am still lost in the fact that I would love to have my momma an sisters on my team. I realize I should have thought things through before handing books or handouts. Thank you for giving me that perspective. I truly hadn't thought of it in that light. 4- difficult child is ABSOLUTELY a black and white thinker. If I give him a rough outline of what is happening for the day and I stray at ALL, I have all kinds of "funness" to deal with. 5-difficult child asks questions all the time. I find myself explaining or googling for answers probably 30-50 times a day. I joke with my husband that living with an aspie is like playing 20 questions 1,985 times a day. It is nice to know that other kiddos and parents are in a boat with us. Thank you for the advice and the candid advice. [/QUOTE]
