[QUOTE="1905, post: 589874, member: 2668"] NH, I don't know if this is helpful, but we had a student like this once, severely autistic but a normal weight. He would RUN and grab anything he could, anytime, we always had to be holding his hand. I want to say compare to that scene in Helen Keller, just grabbing and stuffing things in his mouth like that. Once on the way to the bus, he ran into a classroom that had leftover cupcakes on a table..(he was inside that room in the blink of an eye) and grabbed them all and jammed them in his mouth to the horror of the other kids in an instant. Here is what we suggested. Go to a buffet. Teacher took the student and his family to a buffet. At first all heck broke loose as you can imagine. He could eat one thing at a time, nicely on a plate and then get more. That didn't work so well the first time, everyone left early and in tears. Teacher told them to do it again. The next time they went without her and they said it was better. Expose her to overabundance and show her the correct way that way, instead of too little food (in her mind too little) that leaves her wanting more. [/QUOTE]
