[quote=Anonymous]OP: sometimes ADHD is co-morbid with Sensory Processing Disorder. One of the ways SPD showed up in my DS was that he really could not sense when he was hungry or full. How much food did your child eat before? Yes, the drugs do supress appetite, but was this an issue previously? If it was, here is what we used to do: I would tell my son to eat one forkful (a full one) or bite for every year of his age plus one "to grow on". Having a goal seemed to work. He ate at least what was expected and once he started eating, he ate more. It doesn't sound like much, but doing it 3 times a day kept him gaining weight albeit slowly. Most of the food was high protein - eggs, meat, cheese macaroni. If he could still eat more, he got fruit for dessert. [/quote]
