Venus Wrote:My son, Daniel, is 4½ years old. It has been suspected for a few months that D has a development disorder on the autism spectrum. He is on the waiting list to be tested. One his main problem areas, since birth, has been a severe food "phobia". To cut a long story short, he has now gone for almost 5 weeks without eating anything except chocolate (with doc's permission) & a little milk. His autistic behaviour has also suddenly got a lot worse. Our doctor has now decided to admit him into hospital tomorrow to do some tests & to try stop him from starving himself. I will be allowed to stay with him.
Please keep him in your thoughts & prayers this next week. I will ask Jangar to pop in from time to time with updates.
Hi Venus - My thoughts are with you during this tough time - I thought it was just a phase that Danny would grow out of. If there is anything that I can do - let me know.
