He would eat one bite of anything. If we were lucky, he would eat two. So if we had twenty-five different things at a meal, he would get enough food. Oddly enough, we didn't. Food was an issue.
Argh, my one-year-old is like this. I know my husband sometimes worries, there's a hot spot of austism here in the Bay Area that he attributes to the concentration and inter-breeding of all his fellow techies in Silicon Valley. (He's half convinced he may have a problem himself, but I think that's just a result of being the only introvert in a family of extroverts and being told for decades that he's abnormal.) I'm not worried as much about what it might mean about his mental development as much as I am about his physical development. Kid's about to fall right off the weight and height curves if he doesn't start friggin' eating... Oddly enough, I also don't provide 25 different things for him to eat. ;) Who has time for that?? The day he stops breastfeeding is going to suck, that's pretty much the only thing he'll eat reliably and happily. And that he can't throw over the side of his high chair.
