[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 373563, member: 1991"] Boo, you posted before me and I hadn't read it. The pasta is OK without sauce. A little butter or oil to stop it sticking should be OK. It also adds a little flavour. He does sound like he's doing OK. And yes, it does sound like Asperger's possibly. Peanut butter is really good (try it on a sandwich, also try it with banana). If you can, get a home-made fresh peanut butter. Try other nut butters too. You can make them yourself in a blender. I went years making multiple meals. The freezer helped a lot. But multiple meals means multiple opportunities to taste. And no spitting out allowed - got to swallow, so only take tiny tastes. With water or milk handy (or a banana) to change the taste and texture in the mouth. The toilet issues - we had to use bribes. We got mini choc bars or mini M&Ms and blu-takked the thing to the wall in the toilet. When he did poo in the toilet, he earned the chocolate. Seeing it there was the incentive. And "rabbit poo" was insufficient, he had to do a proper job. It took months but that was the breakthrough for us. Our next toilet issues was a phobia of public toilets. He needed to be able to control his environment and to know that nobody was going to turn on the electric hand dryer. We resorted to using the single-user disabled toilets, plus showing him that we were switching off the hand dryer at the wall before he went in. That one lasted years. He was 10, I think, before he could take himself to the toilet in public. He learned to wait until we got home where possible. But now he's 16, a lot of these problems are a distant memory.
