He never eats what I eat for a meal ever....so I always fix mine and then whatever he wants. Choices are slim and I know he is now getting a bit tired of the same ole things all the time. I am trying to encourage him to try new things. He also never eats cake for his birthday or ice cream.....he will now lick off the icing however!

Yeah, I am SO over oral defensiveness. My youngest, who is on the spectrum, has SUCH a limited diet. I am constantly stressing about if he is getting enough nutrition! My oldest has sensory issues and gags when WE eat something he finds offensive. His birthday is this week. We will be having Rice Krispie Treats. No cake here either. Too mushy... oh, and icing? Icing is DIRTY! Dirty is BAD. (TACTILE defensiveness, too!) This is SO familiar!

My friend says as long as her son is gaining weight and growing, then she gives him what he will eat along with a multi-vitamin. She's fine with that. Maybe as he matures things will change!?
