Will THIS help Mikko EAT?! 

Many autistic adults are in therapy and have ptsd from being treated like a neurotypical child growing up.

Yes my daughter is like mikko with big sensory needs the pediasure and smoothies don't work on my daughter anymore unfortunately but before she use to love them and i use to use to help keep some fat and vitamins on her for when she wouldn't eat right. She take feeding therapy. One tip the therapy said is try getting her to play and explore with bits of foods or snacks at a time, even touching it is progress. My daughter went from not wanting eggs to eating eggs and it was simply by trying the trick therapy said try adding the tatortots in her eggs for example and serve it to her. It took her some time but now she actually eats eggs now and finally is back to eating rice and sometimes picking at beans too. What i notice with her she doesn't like the mushy or too wet feeling in her foods. She won't go towards anything thick but she likes the sweet foods like pancakes or waffels because the syrup she seems to like getting messy though at times because its sticky so i have to tie hair back and have a wet soapy rag close and change her after. My child likes more crunchy foods if anything like nuggets, fries , pizza bites, she eats broccoli and carrots but not gonna lie it took her awhile for her to get where she was eating everything to then refusing to have foods, to now having some. Its definitely a struggle, I would like to see her eating more healthier but something is better then nothing at this point.

GOD BLESS You and your family!

Oh my gosh! Her eyes are so beautiful! She's doing so well. Beautiful little girl!!

oh that's a great idea!! Also applesauce is great in pancakes!

Yes I agree

The sooner the better hopefully before she looses the current teeth. Maybe she is already working on it just haven’t seen it in the videos.

I agree Mikko is a very smart little girl. ❤️💯

Yeah, I noticed that with the sweater. She seemed to really wanted to wear the striped sweater.

Oh I’m going to try this!

Exactly, haha, and she knows she's adorable.

I’ve noticed this also I hope momma notices it soon

🙄

Are all 5 of your children non verbal, autistic, diapered with tactile sensitivity? This is not just a phase. There are autistic children with feeding tubes because their mind won’t tell them to eat. Don’t project onto this woman’s parenting. The fact that Mikko looks at her, is trying words& now makes eye contact is a miracle.

No. This is not just a child being a little moody or manipulative to get her way. This is a child who will be in extreme distress if she has to eat something that she has an aversion to. I would know, i was that child, and i would have literally thrown up, still would. It's not a "dislike", it literally feels like somebody wants you to swallow something that is not edible.

Obviously, if you have an ASD child, they are different than Mikko. You cannot treat neuro-different the same as neurotypical individuals. My two ASD sons are adults and totally different in how they approach the world. One graduated college, works for a famous tech company, but will never be able to live independently, while his younger brother can. One has food aversions even as an adult, and the other aversions to fabric, noise and touch. ASD is a spectrum and every single person is quite different. Phases do not exist as we know them. One son hates ketchup, but likes BBQ sauce. The other would not be alive if had to eat meat due to texture.

I was thinking the same exact thing. Even the foods she grabbed at the very beginning of the video were processed and loaded with white cane sugar; then the breakfast was super processed and sugary as well. Dr. Sebi has great tips for clean eating; a lot of this unclean eating is why we develop many of the health issues that are common to us and it makes the issues we're already having worse.

Exactly. Almost everything is too salty, sweet, or oily with empty calories. It's a shame!

I wonder if it was intentional 😂
