[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love how this thread went from “don’t eat allergens ON playground equipment” to “NEVER FEED YOUR CHILD IN PUBLIC YOU MONSTERS.”

Meanwhile, my ASD kid told me yesterday that she doesn’t like yogurt anymore. Her current list of proteins is: yogurt, milk, nuts and nut butter, beans. Yogurt and nuts are the most portable of those options. We obviously aren’t giving up on yogurt and we’re constantly trying to introduce new proteins, but she has a firm aversion to all meat (it’s a texture issue) and has not taken to hummus, lentils, or other options yet. It’s a daily focus.

So I’m going to keep bringing nut butters, nuts, and recipes with nuts as an ingredient, when I need to bring a snack with me. She eats at a table or on a bench and always washes her hands and face. Having an ASD kid is hard and I work very hard at parenting. But no, I’m not going change my already highly constrained habits on the off chance there is a kid with an allergy at the playground. I feel I’m doing the best I can. Good luck to you.[/quote]

+1 Good for you. My ASD kid only recently started accepting PB on crackers as a snack. Protein intake is always an issue for us too, so I started hiding a lot more egg in the food, quinoa, protein enriched pasta. I don't expect anyone except other ASD parents to understand the struggle and I don't spend any time worrying about the allergy kids and their harpy moms. We figure out our shit and they figure out theirs.[/quote]
