I have a kid who has autism.
When I tried him on peachs & bananas, he said that he liked them.
It seemed that he honestly did because he would throw the banana peels in the trash & the peachs seemed to be eaten around the apple core. Also, whenever I would bring fruit from the store, he seemed happy about eating it. I felt pretty wonderful about it for awhile until our kid started experiencing breathing complications. I wondered for a minute if he was allergic to the fruit I was giving him, but I thought I would have seen some sort of allergic reaction sooner if that were the case. Well, upon inspecting his room, I smelled something bad coming from the Heating & Air Conditioning vent. I went to open the vent & it was filled with rotten apple pieces & bananas! Oh, it was so exhausting & nasty! I had to try to clean all that crap out of there. And I’ll tell you, it’s not simple to discipline a child with autism separate from throwing them into a fit. I had to cut it down entirely carefully to our kid that he can’t throw food into the HVAC duct system. It all molded up & that mold was spreading through the HVAC duct, & I believe that’s why he was having breathing complications. Even I was having a little trouble breathing after awhile, but I didn’t believe why until I found out about the mold. I had to have the professionals come out for HVAC duct cleaning. They did a good job & now our kid feels a lot better in his room now, but he sure as heck won’t be eating inside there anymore!
