hello Christina; My name is Shellyann. We are new too. When you talk about autism; you are really getting into a different subject. What are a couple examples? Do you feel/believe she is in a fantasy world? Does she have an over active imagination? These are just a couple things that relate to autism! With our son he flies with his hands and makes sounds,like jets flying.We are in the same corner as you! Don't have no-answers! Please read our story. We are also open to any suggestions! As far as the eatting; Maybe try offering little amounts 5-6 times a day. Let her make tomorrows food list. This way she feels more in control. Then you can add a few things you want her to eat. Make flash cards of different foods; This will help! have you tried any of these things? We hope all works out well! Shellyann Keep a smile on your face!!
