Yes to the OT feeding. It could be a game changer. Little adjustments will make such a significant difference.
Again i have to say I applaud you and your husband for being so accepting about the challenges you face with him. Early intervention is key. It’s hard to grasp but you both do it flawlessly. Sending you all loves!!
Hi Tara, in OT I had our son do some feeding therapy. My son wouldn't touch anything green or with a slimy texture. He only wanted carbs and crunchy textures. And basically for him to try new foods they allowed him to explore the new foods first by playing with it, smelling it, licking it, even before having him eat it. I had carrots and sweet bell peppers and his therapist would create things with it so he'd explore them. He eventually would put them in his mouth and ultimately he did eat them. Now he eats carrots in his school lunch, and will eat a turkey stir fry with loads of veggies in it. It will take time, but the key is introducing it consistently even if he doesn't touch it. It might take well over 10 tries. Don't give up! I totally understand your struggle ❤️
Special Ed teacher here- I definitely would recommend looking in to OT for feeding. Another tip when trying new foods/textures is to model playing with it, touching it, picking it up with him to see if he will follow. This might help him get more comfortable with new foods and textures. I can’t tell you how beloved goldfish and mini muffins are in our classroom😂🩷 we love a good safe food!
I’m a pediatric occupational therapist and I highly recommend going to OT for feeding therapy!
I deal with ASD myself. I remember that as a child, I was more likely to try something that I hand in helping my mother prepare. That has continued to help me in adulthood, but honestly, I'm still quite picky, but mostly when it comes to what others have prepared. I guess it has to do with seeing what all is actually in a dish. But a good part of my problem was texture, so I wouldn't even eat things that I know I liked the flavor of. So I guess it depends. Sorry if what I wrote doesn't help in any way, it's just an idea. 🤷🏾♀️
I haven’t watched the entire vlog yet, but I just wanted to say thank you for being open about Grey. I followed you long before I had my son & found out he had ASD. it’s SO to have an influencer I can kinda relate to in that regard
Tara I am happy you are back I miss you guys
Feeding w/sensory sensitivities can be so hard! Using the First/Then vernacular can be effective if you give him something to eat that you know he likes (even 1 bite) then give goldfish. Stay consistent in expectations and he will get in the routine of eating something else before getting goldfish. Ask your school OT for help w/this or feeding therapy is great too.
I love your day in the life volg dear Tara!!💕💞💞💕
YASSS for this vlog !!!!!!
We started doing full family dinners- everyone at the table together and all food goes on a plate. Safe food always offered in an amount large enough to fill up and then small manageable amounts of other choices. Repeated exposure and modeling over and over and over and over. I would put the goldfish on his plate rather than in a bag and make them an option for him just like any other food. Play it cool and don’t make a big deal if he looks at or touches or tries another food. Give this a shot for a month and see if any progress! If not, feeding therapy has helped some of my friends!
We did this habit with my twins. They eat almost everything or try new
My child doesn’t have ASD, but super super picky to the point of gagging and throwing up. We just tried to make sure he had some sort of protein with each “meal” he ate and he just turned 7 and he eventually just decided to try new things on his own time. Definitely one of the most frustrating things I’ve been through as a mom but just know that he will eventually try new foods and won’t be like this forever.
My autistic son is 14 now and still extremely picky eater sometimes it doesn’t get much better.
Laser hair removal targets color not thickeness :) I agree the cooling tip on them is great!
Dios te siga llenando de Bendiciones!!!
I love Lifetime! They have a lot of variety of classes and I used it all last summer for the pool. Ours has swim lessons and it’s really convenient. Do it!
I love watching your videos!!! I’m
So happy your back vlogging. My
Best friend does orange theory and she said the same thing the wait list is crazy.
Good morning Tara, I love your videos ❤ I hope you and your family have an amazing day
Thank you so much for watching Amanda! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
My nephew has ASD as well, i make him green juice twice a wk since he doesn't like veggies. He doesn't drink juice only water so i started to give it to him in a syringe at 1st he gagged but after several times he now drinks green juice on his own. Ik is not easy hang in there mommas y'all are doing great!!
Happy New year Tara 🎉❤
Keep offering and not giving up
Our son has ASD and he is 17 now~ we still deal with him being picky but we always offer good choices. And also you can try gummy vitamins too just as a vitamin option for him to have 😃
Saludos Tara desde Mty mexico ❤
Also! We did an appetite stimulant as a last resort for my son, feeding therapy wasn’t super helpful but i definitely think it was the therapist that was the issue & her approach. The AS was really helpful & we stopped giving snacks. Honestly it was so effective we cut back on the stimulant to every other day & then every 2-3 days
I know it’s a tough pill to swallow but he’s super smart you can tell. Just don’t keep those items in your house. He eats differently at school because they aren’t offered. Even a small bag of goldfish will fill him up enough to not want dinner. The first day will be hard but it will get easier. Good luck ❤
This doesn't always work with ASD kiddos. My son literally starved himself for 2 days. Ate nothing. He was losing too much weight. The doctor told me to feed him what he will eat and continue trying to add foods in. Her son is even more on the extreme side than mine was since mine would at least eat 1 food from carbs, fruits,and protein categories. He only eats peanut butter, cheddar jack and cheedar cheese, or very specific flavored and textured yogurt. If it's white cheese he will not eat it. If the food does not look the same, feel the same,smell the same, they struggle. So you have to make small changes over time.
Same mine will not eat and will survive on juice and water until I get him what he wants.
My ASD son wont eat if he doesn't get the few things he wants. He will look at something and refuse to eat it. For ASD its way different than a neurotypical child knowing they will eventually get what they want.
@@wolflover4life19yep! Thats my son! I had to go to the store and he was in tears because he didnt have anything he likes. I also talked to his dr to make sure I'm doing things how they should be. He said the same thing. Offer new stuff ask for them to try it but don't force. We even tell him to try something first and then he can have what he wants. If he likes it he will eat more of that and what he wants.
Hey mama! My son is 4 and also has ASD level 3. I definitely recommend feeding therapy if he is not in it already. My son has been in feeding since summer and has made some good progress, he does very well when he’s at feeding therapy as well.
Miss you too tara
OT FEEDING! I have twin boys who also are dealing with ASD and they are eating more because they are in Occupational Therapy that is focused on feeding! It will take time but with consistency he will be eating and trying more foods! I love you so much Tara! ❤
Ok I need to ask about this! He's in OT but not for feeding. Thank you!
I second this! Last year my son's occupational therapist started working on some food/feeding related issues. It has helped him so much. It was a slow process but I am happy we are doing it!
I’m in special education and yes this is a thing . ♥️😍 good luck
@@tarahenderson I have a 3yr old with ASD and we have came a very long ways with feeding & Swallowing therapy. She will eat any and everything now and for the 1st time ever at a healthy weight! We no longer have to do shakes of any kind! Our speech therapist does our food therapy! I hope this helps!
My son just started OT feeding and praying it helps! He is 4 and literally eats the same 3 things every single day....and one of them is baby food
Feeding littles has a great course on feeding littles, and you want to expose them to different food, so just keep introducing new foods cut small and then I’ll eventually try it, a plate that has the dividers in it and different utensils like tongs chopsticks things that are different to use instead of a fork or spoon.
I promise they grow out of it!!!!! My niece went through it for about 4 months then she finally snapped one night. 😊
Little Bites has a lot of sugar , my son loves them too. I’ve tried a few muffin recipes and sometimes he’ll eat them. If not it’s still a good quick breakfast for the rest of the family. We like the Kodiak cakes mix for muffins and pancakes.
I bought that necklace because I loved yours!
girl we’re members of Lifetime too in Alliance (ftw) you’ll LOVE IT!!! You can also go to any Lifetime in your category with your membership.
Feeding therapy will work❤ smell touch taste and try one bite. Ask the school to make you a visual for trying need foods. Our son was the same way at age 5 now he's about to be 21 and has more foods in his diet. Still very limited but definitely more then he did when he was young. Stay strong you got this ❤
My son is now 17 and was diagnosed when he was 3...food was never my battle, however, as he got older I tried to just give him control. So we would try a new food every Tuesday, but he got to decide what it was and we reassured him that it was ok if he didn't like it. We just kind of did it low key. Hang in there...I know how hard it is. My son now plays football, his tall and basically all muscle and he still lives on cheese its, popcorn, poptarts, hot dogs and chicken nuggets mainly. Watch the Temple Grandin movie with Claire Danes, it's very relatable and it's cool to see it from the ASD person's persepctive. All people with ASD are different, so you will need to try a few different things and figure out what will work for him. You got this and so does he. He is amazing and you're doing a great job!
I have a daughter who is ASD level 3, GDD, ADHD & severe speech delay. She also has eczema which very much adds to it all. We have (with advice from our dietitian) slowly started adding vegetable puree to her sauce. We slowly introduced healthy versions of things she likes for example she will only eat white bread so we are looking at a low GI version of it. We give her apple juice that only contains apples, not additives or colours. We also do food therapy every now and then where she will have a lot of safe foods plus new foods that we know will taste the same each time like a cereal or muslie bar.
Howdy!
Thanks for opening this discussion.
We are in the SAME boat!
For the short term, try sending the nuggets, hotdogs to school in a thermos that way his therapists can works with him.
My 5yo with ASD spots a dupe instantly!😆
Long term, OT helps desensitize slowly over time.
My teen was a goldfish only kid at Grayson’s age , he is now way more diverse with his diet.
Abe’s blueberry muffins at Whole Foods are popular with ASD-they have other flavors.
Lastly, I pump up all het foods with non-flavored Orgain collagen powder
I put it in drinks, baked goods, pancakes, whatever I can!
Hey sry for the random question- why do you use the collagen? Thanks!!
@@suziee6387 that’s a great question!
I use it to fortify foods with protein
Bc it’s flavorless I can easily add 20 g of protein! We Orgain
@@cmconcon wow thanks so much ❤️
My son has ASD and he’s super picky. I’ve learned to make his plate something he always eats, and like one piece of something he doesn’t eat. I also got him to drink these protein shakes from Sam’s because he doesn’t eat meat. They’re by the brand called carnation. But I feel you! If I sneak something, he won’t eat it and then regress because he loses trust in the food he’s comfortable with.
I am a member of Lifetime. It offers so many choices!
There really is! I was blown away during our tour yesterday
I definitely have a picky eater also! He will be 4 in may. His diet is pretty much little bite muffins and maybe 5 other things like hot dogs french fries and chips. But I have noticed if I let him get super hungry and I put something different in front of him he will lick it and then not eat it but I add another different thing he will lick that and choose which one he likes better and take a bite and then he will just sit there and since he's so hungry he ends up eating it. Since it was just a small amount of trying something new, I know he's still hungry I will give him something he does like to fill his belly. I hope that wasn't to confusing but it has worked for us! Good luck Tara this is a hard obstacle to tackle. Just be patient! ❤
What about Annie’s goldfish there organic and then put them in the goldfish bag maybe ❤️
My oldest is 7 and she was very picky at Greyson’s age, as her understanding started to grow so did her menu… she is still picky but much much better. In the other hand my second daughter is 5 and she is very picky (they both have ASD) and my daughter has been eating the same 5 things for over two years now… My suggestion will be find some vitamins, that will give you a little peace and he will get the vitamins he is missing, there are a lot of amazing brands on Sprouts just study them and see what works best for him. My daughter won’t take any pills so we give the vitamins in her almond milk 3 times a day to make sure she is taking all she needs. Recently she had some blood work done and she is doing amazing ❤ very strong and healthy!
My last tip will be always offer whatever everyone else is eating.. he will get curious and eventually he will try something 💕 that works with my oldest 💕 every kid is different you are doing an amazing jog!!
Mine still only eats processed foods and ya know what that is what I have accepted. He had done food therapy also OT to incorporate new foods. I stopped stressing about it years ago. We do have him take one bite of a new food and if he doesn’t like it, so be it .
You are great ❤❤❤
Always , love u from Algeria
I would also try a heavy metal detox TRS is awesome it’s a spray no taste
My son is a picky eater and just a simple thing I did was make him watch the cocomelon pasta song to get him to like pasta. Seems a bit silly but they do get inspired by characters they see on a daily basis. Another thing you could do is try feeding him baked chicken legs with simple olive oil, salt & pepper dressing. They don’t like new foods at first but if you’re persistent, they tend to adapt it.
My son is asd this was a phase for us also. What we did was every meal would have the food he liked I.e goldfish and that would be the majority of the meal and 1 thing that he sorta liked and 1 thing he didn't necessarily like the portions of the goldfish gradually get smaller while the other foods gradually increased we had a 1 bite rule everything needed 1 bite taken big or small we didn't care just a bite before he could get off the table
Tara my son is autistic aswell same age as yours , does the same thing only wants cookies and chips fries , next week he will start a feeding therapy to help him try new foods. I and very excited to start that because he won't eat other kinds of food and it he does for a little bit of time then he doesn't want it anymore
Тара дай бог тебе терпения. 😊
My son is a month older with ASD- texture is everything, things need to be the same every time in texture but u should try nacho chips(obviously not healthy) but then u could try adding ground beef, & making nachos, the only meal my son will eat, then I started adding more ingredients like grated carrot, spinach, cheese, grated broccoli, beetroot. Does he sniff to smell if he might want to try things? Also Vitamins(gummies) you could also try buying a bunch of different snacks unhealthy and healthy options different ones each week and he might just try something different and like it (hopefully it’s the healthier option haha)
My daughter is 6 and ASD. She LOVES goldfish and will eat it every day. Along with pb&j that I pack for her lunch. For the past month or two instead of the orowheat potato bread, I had gotten multi grain or oat and I was surprised she ate it. Anyway. I’m always trying to find ways to hide veggies too. 😫
check out goldfish and how they contain metal and are not a good snack
Hi Tara, to encourage my picky eater. I offer something he really wants..candy..ice cream..cookies if he eats all his food and I started w 2 bites of everything and then increased the amount on his plate to a good portion for his age, he still gets a treat after he eats.. if he complains I say u don't have to eat it but you're not getting said treat unless you do. Usually that's enough to get him to comply.
I'm love your videos🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
my son have asd also and is almost 4. He have days he is picky and days he isn't super picky. try offering him new foods with his safe foods. Like put hotdog and a small scoop of new food.
You hang in there beautiful Tara
The feeding/eating therapists do a really great job. Im sure that your sons school could steer you in the right direction.
The best thing you can do for your face is apply caster oil (no smell) on your face in the evening. I am 75 and no wrinkles or spots.
Good morning Tara!! That sounds like a great recipe for goldfish! Does he take vitamins too? Kiddos his age are so picky period! My granddaughter would eat those little bites all day long if possible. 😂 Cute Valentine garland! Love you!! 🩷🩷🩷 Oh, and your nails are beautiful!! White goes with everything and looks very chic! Love that shape, I get that too!,🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Idk if they still make them but gold fish brand did have veggie ones too
Imiss you tara ❤❤
Honestly my daughter does not have asd she has adhd. At 2 years old she became very picky and wanted to snack before dinner. I would cave a couple times a week also would have her help make dinner to keep her busy. She would try the food because she helped make it. It could be a phase. She grew out of it she is now 6. 💙
Hey Tara
I've been following you since your very first vlog. Your amazing mom. I also have a son with ASD he is now 6. He's non verbal and almost deaf. When he was graysons age he only eat a few things just your little guy. Now today he has 15 items he eats. They are mostly breads and not very healthy snacks.
I have spoken to so many professionals and other parents. They say not to try and hide food in his food. Because then they can be turned off by the few things they are eating. Also you want to build that trust with the boy. I made that mistake and he stopped drinking his smoothie which is now I get all his vitamins, omega 3, iron (super important for sleep and many other things.) It do taste really bad but if you get the formula from the physicians that you only need like one little drop of it.. then it's easier for them to take in a smoothie. I put his fav yogurt, frozen berrys and then all the vitamins in. He loves it and he's getting what he needs to grow and be healthy. Other then that I stopped worrying and stressing about it. Hope this helps mama. God bless hugs
Feeding therapy 💯 It’s a process, but it has helped my daughter a lot.
I have the same problem with my 6 yr old daughter she doesn’t have ASD but is super picky. I can’t get her to try new things. she also has to have certain brands of foods.
My 2 almost 3 year old daughter also has ASD, and we are struggling with her eating as well. She is very picky also and only has a couple of foods she will eat. I just keep giving her choices and see what will stick. Does get expensive when she refuses foods but I was told it takes about 10xs offering a food before the child really decides if they like it or not. Keep trying mama. You've got this!❤
I have a super picky eater, i try to make a juice with fruit and veggies or a smoothie everyday so that I know she has had some fruit and veg at least. She helps make them and enjoys drinking them.
Offer him bites of your food if he seems interested! Maybe put just a tiny bit of new things on his plate so that he starts getting used to seeing them and possibly trying them. Also maybe let him eat wherever he wants and not necessarily at the table.
Will he drink a protein smoothie or shake?
My son is such a picky eater tbh. He’ll be two next month and some days I think to myself why cant you just eat a variety of everything lol. He hates pastas and slimy things mainly. Always down for snacks but of course we need to give him “real foods” as well ❤
I hope your family is well, I love you 😊
So put new foods on his plate with his safe foods. Also, if he starts liking Mac and cheese again, purée butternut squash or sweet potato and add to the cheese sauce. If it gets REALLY bad, feeding therapy can be an option
Beautiful
100% do occupational therapy feeding!!
I have a 5 yo ASD boy. He is the same way. He only eats pizza, Graham crackers, ritz crackers, cinnamon brown sugar poptarts, some chips, dried strawberries and apples.
Tara where are you,I miss you so much 😘🥰❣️
thanks for showing that you can buy little groceries at target i didnt know
Cutting your hot dogs that way could cause choking! I’m not sure how well he chews his food but I do know they’re the perfect shape to get stuck. Seeing my baby choke was a nightmare for me. So I’m pushing my anxieties on you. lol
No hate! I adore you and your family. Just felt like sharing that with you..
My son is 4 years old but doesn't have what your son has at least we don't think so since he can't get diagnosed until he is 5-6 years old according to his doctor. But he only will eat hot dogs, chicken nuggets, cheese, cereal, fruit and peanut butter and jelly and won't eat anything else. I'm in the same boat as you are. I keep on trying to introduce him to different foods even though he doesn't eat it and it's still not working according to different websites and doctors and therapists they said that it would take anywhere between 12 to 14 tires before they will even try it.
Hi Tara I'm new to youre channel ☺️ I have a child with special needs we have a hard time with food . What is the recipe for the goldfish? I just order the cutter im going to try this with my son. Thank you 😊
Girls are so so beautiful.
My daughter is 4 with ASD. She was so picky that I was worried about her getting proper nutrition. I couldn’t even get her to eat a gummy vitamin. We’ve been in OT for feeding for about 6 months and it has been a huge help. We’ve added about 8 new regular foods for her and have learned strategies to get her to at least try new foods. They make it really fun and less painful by playing games and using incentives. I know how hard it can be, praying for you!
its so hard i feel like my son will only eat junk or starve 🤦♀️😭 but my biggest rec is TRS spray as well as avoiding food dyes
can u find tiny size muffin tins to make your own tiny muffins?
And a super clean diet ! Nothing with artificial in it. When we see natural flavor its not natural its chemical made taste flavor.
Adding pedialite or other supplements into a smoothie could work
Try putting a little bit on the food your trying with him I his mouth. As his mother you can always use your clean fingers because they move so fast. He did not like it but we just apologised.
He most likely will spit it out but will remember the taste. We tried this and now our 3yr old will pick his siblings food to join in and have a taste.
I love your nails, and I also doing boring nalis. Always same but that's me.😘
i alwayas struggled with my son eating new foods so i knew making him new things was a waste of time so i wrote down the things i know he loves and will eat and i just choose from that list better than no food at all even if he eats the same things over and over here is what i do i always stalk up his favorite foods which are grilled cheese, hot dogs, spaghetti no meat, fettuccini alfredo no chicken, mac n cheese, also plain steak cut up to bite size, gold fish, rits crackers, alone or with nutela, or peanut butter gummy snacks, gold fish, oreo, teddy grams, strawberry yogurt, string cheese, ham and cheese sandwich crust off and sliced in half same with peanut butter sandwich no jelly and nutella toast, chocolate milk, sunny d, cup of noodles sometimes, fried potatoes with chorizo, fries, hot pockets, corn dogs, pizza, and i give him protein shakes vanilla and add chocolate syrup instead of the chocolate protein shakes which he dosent like for some reason, and he is big with fruit like strawberrys blueberys grapes bananas, peeled and sliced apples, mango sliced, watermelon and sometimes pineapple and a daily vitamin and he will be awesome
Sorry but that is not picky eater 😮
❤❤❤
my ten old is just starting to grow her food likes weve always suspected asd for her but she has other diagnosis
Try sweet potato instead of carrots I think the carrots will be to watery
Try getting his iron levels checked. Low iron levels can also take away your appetite..
He looks pale with dark circles under his eyes..
So laser hair removal isn’t 100% I’ve met women that still go to EWC 🤷🏻♀️ and EWC is cheaper too
I would ask for a referral for feeding therapy (OT)

What happened with your left eye at your appointment from your last vlog?
She posted an update in the description box on her last video
Thanks!
Tara buy him a vitamin so he has an appetite, my girl was like that, she didn't eat anything and I bought her a vitamin for her appetite and now she eats a lot, buy it at the Latin store, it's called nutrifer vitaminado
I've thought about trying to offer him a protein type drink but he won't touch any other liquid besides water
I understand how you feel that way with someone who doesn't drink any of that, just water, but I think that if you give it to him in water, he won't feel like it's a vitamin. I give it to my daughter in milk.
@@tarahendersonhey Tara you might want to try vitamin drops that are flavorless. My son only drinks water or juice but I will put it every morning in his water bottle and he doesn’t notice. The brand is Peak Performance. Hope this helps
