[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does ADHD have to do with anything? As a person with ADHD, I was someone who always wanted different things. if they're picky eaters that's because they're picky eaters, not because of ADHD.[/quote]

I disagree... Kids with ADHD are known to 1) be less hungry when on meds due to appetite suppression 2) want to carb load when the meds wear off and 3) be more prone to want to eat the same things over and over. [/quote]

Considering the traits of ADHD are impulsivity, and I have ADHD and can tell you impulsive eating is a real problem, I think you just have a kid with ADHD who also for other reasons has been trained up as a picky eater.[/quote]

Yes- if you read, #2 above is about impulsivity. No one is "trained" as a picky eater. #3 is related to hyperfixating. These are well documented traits - while you are sharing one experience.[/quote]

picky eating is entirely trained.

They are not well-documented traits, you're just assigning things to ADHD because it's easier than dealing with the root causes. [/quote]

Wow you are really ignorant about feeding. No "picky eating" isn't trained, that's basically blaming parents. Please go educate yourself or at least be quiet. [/quote]

it is definitely trained.

in places where parents don't give their kids the option of chicken tenders, boxed mac and cheese or cheese pizza, kids don't have trouble eating other things.[/quote]
