Food Sensitivity
Video Summary
The mother of two boys with ASD and a third with development delays discusses the extremely restricted diet of her eldest son, Gabriel. Gabriel will only eat about 5 different kinds of food and gags when given food of a gelatinous texture.
"When you limit one thing that he's eating out of five, you know then you're stuck with eating the same thing day after day."
— Mom of Gabriel, Ben and Nathan
