| Definitely texture like others have said. His resistance to packaging or lack thereof may simply be that he is too young to realize that food tastes/feels the same out of the package and is afraid of having an unpleasant experience.

I took the FQ awhile ago, I don't remember my exact score but it was above average NT scores. There's no way that's accurate, my mom says that if friends are like plants I need friends who are cactuses  |

| I would come with a list of symptoms you deal with/be prepared to talk about them. Also prepare for your doctor to be at least a tad ignorant, as in don't be surprised if you hear "you don't look autistic", or "but you make eye contact" or "do you really want that stigma? Yo... |

| If the school/daycare thinks it's better to keep him in the under 2 room for a little bit that may be beneficial if that means he will get more one on one attention.

| No I don't think so. They are looking for employees with a specific skill set NT's can develop and demonstrate those skills as well. Those employers just happen to know that the skill set is often found among those on the spectrum. It's not like you you can be unqualified and get the job just becaus... |

| They'll just believe me/accommodate me for whatever I ask because CP can affect all sorts of things. Maybe they will and maybe they won't.
