Spinning on that dizzy edge

Heh, I just had a chuckle over the betrayed look (followed immediately by puking) I'd get if I tried to feed him tuna water. Given his choice, he'd probably take medicine.

He's not precisely a supertaster, but he definitely catches when I try to alter his normal menu. He has Opinions on everything from mac and cheese (Kraft or nothing) to the acceptable store brands of 2% milk (Meijer). Those cookbooks that suggest sneaking pureed veggies in food never had a kid like him in their focus groups. I dunno if it's a facet of his ASD, or inheriting his dad's sensory defensiveness, but it severely limits what he'll even try.
