LOL...and my son LOVES Black Olives ever since he was a baby. When we went to the Olive Garden we would ask for a small bowl of them. He would put them on his 10 fingers and eat them. He is 14 and still loves them!

Jan – I laughed when I read this as my son, who is now 20, did

the exact same thing when he was small.  And, he still loves them.  If I am

cooking something that has black olives in the recipe he always asks me to give

him a few to eat.  In fact, I think I used to buy him his own can of them!

Jokes aside, here's the reason:

a lot of kids on the spectrum react to foods high in phenol. It seems like Andy

reacts strongly to olives, but so far we haven't noticed the other ones on the

list.
