He also doesn't eat wet foods. We wonder if he has sensory challenges or is somewhere on the spectrum but highly functional, given his behaviour with food and a few other things. Out of desperation, we have tried once to bargain with him and it does make him try a new food which he usually doesn't. Bit we're still stuck. His food choices are narrowing over time. Where do we…
