Eating Habits

Hi, my son always seems to be hungry. He wakes up in the morning and eats anything he sees and continuous all day. Never seems to be satisfied. The strange thing is he never puts on any weight. He also demands a fish finger Happy Meal each day even though he has about 4 or 5 fish fingers for lunch at school. Does anyone else have any similar problems.

Re: Eating Habits

Many kids on the spectrum have difficulty absorbing nutrients ... being underweight is not uncommon.

IMO if your son is giving you clues that he is always hungry, it's good that you are picking up on it.

Best wishes.
