Oh dear, Mama22gs, hugs to you and your son!
Thanks, I needed that.
And, I know what you mean about fish, although with DS7, he thinks eating fish is OK, but has trouble with chicken and beef. I find it odd, because he's completely OK with going fishing, and both cleaning and eating what he catches, or going to the fish market and picking out something to eat that still looks like a fish. I would think THAT would be troublesome. Somehow, though, he thinks that killing chickens and cows for food is evil, while fishing is OK.
Frankly, I've not been willing to question it, because I don't want his aversion to affect his willingness to at least eat fish. He has food allergies, so getting protein in him is challenging as it is.
