Only Autistic kids' parent's will understand this. Galen STOLE 3 pieces of pizza I cooked tonight (that I was trying to eat one at a time). Not only did he steal them off my plate, but he actually ATE the pizza! Well 2 1/2 pieces or so, but still! Such a WIN! He still wouldn't eat it until he threw it on the floor, but success!
Yesterday he stole cereal out of my bowl (one he doesn't ever eat, not the usual cheerios) and ate it. Then later stole 2 pieces of toast off of Mazzu's plate. These all had to be thrown on the floor first, but he's eating other stuff again! I hope it continues.
This may have something to do with this: the past 2 or 3 days, he's only had 1 Boost Chocolate Milk instead of 2 a day. We usually give him 2 a day to make up for his lack of eating and 3 on days he refuses to eat at all. The pediatrician had said that too many in a day would keep him from eating because he'd be full. I'm thinking 2 a day might have been making him full these days. Alternatively, maybe it's a breakthrough again. Like last month when he was eating meat like crazy but then quit again.
I haven't been around much of the last week at all, due to Galen injuring my eye. Instead, Mazzu has really stepped up. Unfortunately, the call I was waiting on from the therapy referral going through FINALLY happened while I was out of commission. So now I have to call them back tomorrow. Hopefully a few days won't make that big of a deal. I couldn't see well enough to write anything they said or read anything to them they might need, so I had to wait either way.
