Evan does not like to eat sandwiches. He never has. He has to have a

sandwich broken up into bite size pieces. We have always thought it was

because he was afraid to bite hard on a sandwich. He will bite his hand

when he gets upset. Not hard enough to bleed. We felt that he was afraid

if he bit hard it would hurt like when he bit his hand too hard. This gives

us something else to think about.
