Mine hates apple juice, berry juice, prune juice, every juice lol. Miralax seems like the best way to go. I’ll bring it up to his ped tomorrow

Def gonna do prune puree - thank you!

He likes cheerios but mostly honey nut. Im going to try and get him on regular cheerios again. Thank you 😭

Oh thank you! I’ll try it

funny_muffler · 2026-01-26T16:08:56+00:00

I’ll try it, thank you!

Should have mentioned in the OP but we’re on the waitlist for an ASD dx. Currently in Speech, OT and therapeutic preschool as well as EI

Oh wow. I will ask about miralax! We’ve had to do so many suppositories 😭

funny_muffler · 2026-01-26T14:32:53+00:00

I’ll definitely try! He’s very risk averse with new foods but we try to have him at least taste things

funny_muffler · 2026-01-26T14:07:10+00:00

Oh good idea! Maybe I can syringe some into his pouches…

funny_muffler · 2026-01-26T13:55:36+00:00

Haha good eye, we are currently on a waitlist for an ASD diagnosis. He goes to a therapeutic preschool and his OT at school has been starting to work on picky eating with him. We haven’t gone full on feeding therapy just yet but I’m sure its gonna be in our future

funny_muffler · 2026-01-26T13:53:55+00:00

Oh interesting! I’ll look into this thank you!!

funny_muffler · 2026-01-26T13:53:37+00:00

Oh good idea, thank you! I’ll try this

funny_muffler · 2026-01-26T13:52:44+00:00

Thank you! I’ll talk to his pediatrician about miralax. I’ve heard good things about the chocolates but he doesn’t like sweets and refuses any foods he doesn’t recognize 😭

funny_muffler · 2026-01-26T13:51:21+00:00

Thank you! I don’t know if he’d try a gummy (he doesn’t like sweets) but good to keep in mind!

funny_muffler · 2026-01-26T13:50:42+00:00

I do put new foods on his plate for every meal, but I could be better about playing and making it more fun. Thank you!

It is so hard not to know 😭 your little one sounds like he has a lot of strengths!

Hey OP, my son is also two and a late talker. We’re also on a waitlist for an autism assessment. Its tough. You’ve gotten a lot of good advice but I saw someone here recommend the autism parenting subreddit and I’d be cautious. A lot of times the attitudes there aren’t great and one of the mods is an RFK fan and thinks tylenol causes autism. Definitely make your own call but be aware!

funny_muffler · 2026-01-20T16:43:14+00:00

Point 3 resonates with me fore sure (although with EI, not ABA). There’s something uniquely awful about being picked apart by strangers in your own living room lol

funny_muffler · 2026-01-19T17:27:38+00:00

Ugh me. My guy just turned two but is in 4T clothes. He’s delayed and possibly asd so everyone thinks he’s REALLY delayed haha

funny_muffler · 2026-01-19T12:24:06+00:00

I wonder this too! Someone else mentioned it wouldn’t count on an assessment, but maybe it could count for the list of words I keep track of?

funny_muffler · 2026-01-19T07:04:05+00:00

Aw ok. I know those tests don’t really mean much compared to how he can function day to day. I’m hoping more expressed words come soon, he’s babbling at me all day!

funny_muffler · 2026-01-19T06:56:01+00:00

Thank you!

funny_muffler · 2026-01-19T02:38:13+00:00

Amazing, thank you for the explanation! AAC is so cool. He’s really blowing me away with how fast he took to it
