Mission Impossible



Ever try to get a child with autism to eat a new food?
Alex and Spencer will eat grapes, so I've been slipping a few impostors
in with the group.  So far, they have not been detected! :)

  2. LOL tricky aren't you
    That is surely a thing to do
    Make them thing it is the same
    And set the new food flame
    Then if they like
    They'll want to take the hike
    Eat both of those as well
    And grapes by the bag sometimes at my cell

    2. I planted 8 blueberry bushes this year so in a few years son we can go out there and eat to our hearts content! We love them! Can't wait!

    3. that's a great idea~ I tried one once and it didn't thrive. I really should try again..nothing like picking fruit out of your own yard!

  7. Oh that is one clever move Betsy! Do they gag on foods they don't like?

    1. they gag just at the thought of tasting something new!

  8. Such a clever lady! MY mother in law use to boil carrots and mash them into the mashed potatoes to get my husband (her son) to eat some veggies. LOL Creative minds!

    1. haha...I've heard that one....or a pureed can of veggie soup into meatloaf. I guess you have to be creative it they won't eat!

  9. Good for you! I have tried new foods with autism students and it is SO HARD! Kudos to you Betsy for all of your efforts with your boys!

    1. It's amazing how strong their aversions are! Alex loves food, though, and will eat most everything I make. Spencer and Harry eat the same old thing every day. They will throw up if they even think I'm going to make them taste one bite of something new!

  10. Oh what a smart idea that was....Little by little, piece by piece, and soon they will be eating a bowl of blueberries. I remember when Myk will little he didn't like try new things, but he LOVED carrots, so one day I put asparagus on his plate, and he said "What's this" I said oh those are green carrots. And he ate them. HaHa..Mother's do what they have to do....

  12. Hmm... seems to be Mission Accomplished... to me. Although it was achieved in a magical mother's manner. Watch your back, they may sneak some appetizing find from the outdoors on to your plate/bowl. Ha!!!

    I cannot bring myself to eat green peas. Yuck!!!

    1. no peas? Did your mother hide them in other things? :)

  17. Hi Betsy .. glad it's working - ringing the changes for them, must be challenging ... if one eats - do the others? I like Christine's comment ... cheers Hilary

  22. Ha! Cute idea. I'll have to try this with my little one when she is old enough to be a picky eater. Crazy kids and their food preferences! Thanks for stopping by my blog so that I could discover yours.
