[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cleaning up her diet will help a lot. Don’t ever eat sugar or other junk food. Ice cream and candy is the worst. No fruit juice etc. [/quote]

Do you have an ASD kid? This is not remotely possible. She has mild ARFID and binges sweets. I’m looking for skin care suggestions, not world war 3. [/quote]

Don’t keep them in the house! Make her sweets be fruit and other cleansing foods. You’re buying it right or is your ASD kid shopping? [/quote]

OP here. It is hard for me to capture how deeply upsetting and presumptuous your unsolicited advice about diet is. You have NO IDEA the vast issues around food we are navigating with the help of trained physicians and dieticians. Take a giant step back and reconsider how you “helpfully” engage with people who do not ask for your dietary input.

I asked about skincare. You indicted my kid’s diet. This kind of unsolicited intervention is part and parcel of all of the ableism I’m trying to protect my child from. On the Special Needs Board, no less!! I’m just reeling at the layers of assumptions you had to do to get there  - especially once I indicated we are dealing with ARFID. WOW. Just wow. [/quote]
