Picky eating

My 5 year old is on the spectrum and crazy stubborn. He is beyond picky he only will eat breads cereals and pasta legit. Like he will not eat. Ive tried all the things i really have but its honestly getting worse. And coming from an eating disorder myself this is crazy stressful and triggering to me. His dr says he's getting to be overweight and idk im in deep here I need ideas to get him to try things.

Can you try baking fruits and veggies into bread? Adding freeze dried fruit to his cereal? Using vegetable based pasta or veggies in sauce? I don't have a special needs child but these are some ideas I came up with

I do hide a ton of veggies in my spaghetti and i use a protien chick pea pasta, that's one sauce he will eat. I will have to try adding fruit to bread

My 5 yr old daughter is beyond picky as well. Like hardcore. I can't sneak ANYTHING. But her weight and growth are still fine. Her twin brother isn't as picky but is still normal everything. But i still want my girl to eat!

It's so exhausting

We are all autistic in my house and the only way I can get them to eat more fruit is smoothies… the problem with fruit and vegetables as an autistic person perspective is that fruit and vegetables lack consistency. So it’s a big turn off from eating a lot of fruit even for me. Just figured I share that…

He does like smoothies i forget about that sometimes.

BAKE FRUIT OR VEGGIES INTO THE BREAD ADD FLAX SEEDS

Have you considered food therapy?

I have i just haven't been able to find anything our insurance will cover
