I was at a birthday party at a restaurant a few weeks ago and a couple had a little boy who is Autistic. He's about 6, completely nonverbal and the parents have to hold to restrain him or pull him back constantly. For his meal they ordered french fries and macaroni and cheese for him.... Need I say more????
He ate none of it!
At one point he reached across the table at lightening speed and grabbed a cherry tomato off of my salad plate.
