ever since my child has had in home services in addition to going to school (starting all at once) that by the end of the week he's not eating like he does on a Monday. from what I've have read proteins do not digest correctly in a person that is diagnosed with Autism. so the portents embed them self in the digestive track causing physical pain (that's is a theory on why Autistic people rock back and forth hit the head on walls etc. its how the mellow out the pain) so at the end of the week with all the sensory he gets i believe (if that information is true and i understand it right) that he is feeling things more physically than before and is feeling that pain from his proteins embedding and eats less. I have just requested an OT test though his school and have asked for it to be on a Monday so that the assessment is acurate
Do you find this valuable?

Hi Kesner,Yes, there is gluten and cassein which when being put into the body (especially when at home and through school) can be quite a shock to the gut. It does cause pain and it is not surprising for many Autistic people to have allergies to egg, wheat, etc. I have these allergies and so I'm on 1/2 g/f c/f and do a lot of Juicing with Ice Chips which can help. ALSO, they may be testing him with many different oral textures so his mouth is getting confused. They may be using an oral vibrator or not, so his swallowing and mouth may be tactially and sensory-feeling wise confused. Ask them about that as well. The assessment should show that as well when they watch him eat. Let us know how it turns out. Hugs, Kris Do you find this valuable? |
