Hi, my name is Sarah and I hope it's OK to post here. I'm not a picky eater, by my 13 year old son is and he and I are both worried about it. He and I are talking about it, and I want to know how to support him. For years, I would just get mad at him because it felt like he was just being oppositional. Now I realize this is not a choice he's making, but possibly a disorder he's wrestling with. He's not as extreme as some of the struggles I'm reading about others' having. He actually likes to try new things, but he often sits down to eat feeling hungry and then something will put him off and he'll eat a few bites and feel ill or just full. He's very sensitive to smells and textures, but likes spicy things and is attracted to colorful foods. I would love to hear suggestions for how I can support him so he and I can be allied in helping him work this through. Thank you!
