More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Finding out that your child has Asperger Syndrome can be devastating enough, but when you discover that he or she won't eat 99.9 per cent of all food and drink in the known universe, the fun really starts. This was the situation the author found herself in a decade ago when her son first took a dislike to milk, and then to virtually every other substance she attempted to feed him. Her book was written to reassure other parents that there are lots of people out there in the same boat, and to suggest practical methods of dealing with the problem. As well as drawing on her own experience, the author has spoken to parents, children, and professionals with first-hand knowledge of dietary difficulties, and their advice and comments form a key part of the book.

From a Grandmother, with thanks,
This review is from: Can't Eat, Won't Eat: Dietary Difficulties and Autistic Spectrum Disorders: Dietary Difficulties and the Autism Spectrum (Paperback)
As a Grandparent of a little boy with Autism his Mother my dughter asked me to order this book. Wow what an insight! Eating is life and when you have a child who only eats a few selected items, it's scary. This book made me laugh and cry. I'd recomend that anyone who has a child within the Spectrum and not eating READ THIS BOOK, you will learn so much. Thank you Brenda, you helped me understand.

Can't eat won't eat,
By Nina (Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Can't Eat, Won't Eat: Dietary Difficulties and Autistic Spectrum Disorders: Dietary Difficulties and the Autism Spectrum (Paperback)
I have to say that this book actually cheered me up. I was crying with laughter, because you see it's not only you,on your own, someone else is going through the same fears and anxiety which helped me to be more relaxed and I saw my son on the same level with hers, thanks for making me feel normal.

Let them be!,
By Married to Mr Asperger "Lorraine" (biggin hill, kent) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Can't Eat, Won't Eat: Dietary Difficulties and Autistic Spectrum Disorders: Dietary Difficulties and the Autism Spectrum (Paperback)
A great book that should give parents the confidence NOT to try and feed their children food they sensorally can not cope with. There are no crazy stratergies because none of them work! Do people think autistic children have secret meeting and say "I know! Lets all refuse to eat anything except pringles! That will teach those normal people". So called fussy eating is so common in autism is should simply be accepted. You wouldn't say to a wheelchair bound child "just have a little try of walking, you might like it!" Nor should you ask an autistic child to have a little try of something that is green.
