Fed up with schools food demands -need advice!!

[Guest guest]

I am soooo sick and tired of the school asking me for a " comparable "

treat for this or that. My son has ASD and we have been SCd since

August.They are all fully aware of Dylans very restricted diet and

know he is to get only home sent treats...which I make all myself

like many of you. This week, they want me to send in something

comparable for,OT, speech and his christmas party which (I refuse to

send him to!)I cried all the way home from the school on halloween

after watching my son beg for pudding,cupcakes,CANDY.And getting a

hold of a piece.

I need something comparable to a cookie and ICING...(we are

combating a major yeast issue, so we are backing off the

honey,juice,fruit etc....and trust me he is going to want the

cookie), Wed, they want a " snack mix " theirs will be made from

Ritz,popcorn,gumdrops,licorice and marshmallows. JUNK...all of my

sons old favorites. My son is in a special ed pre school,not an

autism class. The parents are in complete denial about their kids

issues so they think that because my son speaks in 3 word sentences

that he must be severe,and they dont believe in dietary

restrictions. One of my sons classmates eats chicken in a biskit nad

cream of potato soup...thats it. Sound familiar ASD moms? . Does

anyone feed this crap to their NT kids? I sure don't! I realize that

this is a special week.....but whith the massive rise in

diabetes,obesity and learning issues...why oh why are we subjecting

our other kids to this?I am beside myself and I want to hire a

nutritionist to go in there and shake em up a bit and say, you are

responsible for them LEARNING.....Why would you give foods with no

nutritional value. How do you all handle this issue with schools. do

I need to give a doctors note? Should I keep him home this week? I

dont want him to miss out on the learning....but I cant trust them.

He sees marshmallows and you will need a hannibal lechter straight

jacket to restrain him.
