Trying to keep my very picky eater 3yo healthy as we’re (hopefully) expanding his diet. Right now the only foods I can get him to actually eat are McDonald’s, a specific brand of yogurt, banana bread, some crackers and some bars. Refuses any beverage besides water. (He’s likely on the spectrum.)
What did you think this bit meant?
A home, WebMD diagnosis is not clinical evidence
So the fuck what?
Diagnosing your child has autism from WebMD, and not going to get a professional evaluation is the same as calling yourself a car because you stood in a garage
Advising a parent to torture a child over food is piss poor advice to start with but when the parent has identified possible autism, you realise you know less than nothing and shut the fuck up.
That is the most smooth brain opinion ever. Telling your child they will be having something other than McDonald’s for dinner is not torture, it’s good parenting.
I think that’s an addition, since I fell for it as well.
