RE: Autistic behaviours: Pica! What is it and what to do about it!

in #autism6 years ago

Oh your poor little bubba. Sounds like she has been through a lot. Hope she is doing well now. I’m not sure about chewing fingers being related to pica, but I’m not an expert, I would definitely ask ker doctors. It sounds as though her iron issues are under management already so that should stop her from craving non food items that contain iron.
Thanks for your support.

Yes she is much better since coming to AU. She learns to eat lots of vegetables, fruits and i try to give her beetroot every day. Initially she has problem swallowing veg and don't like fruits But her iron, folic, Vit B, B12 and multi Vit are on going daily to maintain her improvement in iron. I ordered her B12 online which she can place under her tongue to dissolve so no more jab for her.
Thank God for looking after her as despite going through 10+ operations she is still a cheerful, bubbly, lovable darling girl.

A true little fighter!
