[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 352239, member: 3907"] Gcv, how did my Little easy child get all the way to your house? :winking: Little easy child definitely has sensory integration issues too, and he is also a painfully messy eater. It doesn't matter what he's eating, he gets it all over his face. And then he can't stand the sticky feeling of food around his mouth, so he wipes his face on his shoulder. His t-shirts always have lip prints on the shoulders, and his place at the kitchen table is nearly bare wood because I've scrubbed the finish right off. I follow Little easy child around with damp face cloths, trying to halt some of the mess. I even carry one in a ziploc baggie in my purse when we go out to eat. Honestly (and I'm a little bit embarrassed to confess this), when I can't cope with the aftermath of Little easy child's mess-fest, I just feed him. We will sometimes share a plate of food, with me wielding the utensils. He knows how to use them properly, but sometimes the hypermobility issues that come along with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) make it a lot of work for him to hold his knife and fork, or even finger food, properly. So I do it for him. Not ideal, but it works for us for now. And don't even get me started about the Flaming Hot Cheetos. They will not darken my door. [/QUOTE]
