unwinnable argument

I certainly feel for you. They don't like change or what they perceive to be change. I know as well as you do some things can't be helped and as much as we try to prepare them for changes things happen. I used to get calls from school when my daughter was younger to take her out of school. I always went and said to the teacher "What did you do?" LOL Turns out they usually changed something in her schedule without preparing her for it. Now at almost 21 she's learned that things do come as a surprise once in awhile and sometimes life throws a curve. Not to say she doesn't throw a good fit over it once in awhile!

Ok this argument has nothing to do with the fact that your child has autism.Ive had a similar argument with my nephew because I brought home a different brand of milk and it had a different cap color.He would not drink even though it was the same low fat milk.I had to run back to the store and buy one more gallon lol..so yes I feel your pain

I noticed that there was a tag that said "autism" on here. Can your (?) child read? If not, why mention what type of milk it is?

LOL! My son has a blanky he takes all over the place, he is almost 3 && when we wash it we have a second blanket for him because he has to have it in his hands at all times! My point is, the blankets look the same, but he knows they are not the same, he knows one is newer then the other && so on... so this ends up being a melt down until the original is clean && ready... Autistic children hate change... doesn't matter if it's a small change or not... I feel you.... :)

I can understand that dealing with children with autism is not an easy task. My son has been diagnosed as an aspergers which is on the other side of autism. I understand that both autistic and aspergers like a pre scheduled plan of the day and are edgy if things don't go according to plan. As parents we have to support them and continue to love them. Though sometimes you get really tired.

My son does not have autism, but when my daughter first started drinking milk he had a fit over my buying Whole milk. He did not want the fattening milk. He wanted healthy milk. He grew up on 2%, but I had started buying 1% because he was getting to be a little chunky. Now he is drinking about a gallon of whole milk a week and is too skinny. Kids!

Awwwwww, bless him! You'll look back on this and laugh later. My son is autistic also, and he would ask for certain meals and then not eat them. I finally realized it was because his food was touching. I purchased dome of those cafeteria trays, and we're golden!
