If textures are an issue this can be related to SI. Some kids are super sensitive to textures, even in their mouths. I'm trying to remember what my Ds used to do. (Dusting off the archives now...hmmm...let's see.... LOL) Ds had tactile defensiveness, which means he could not stand to be touched by others, couldn't live with tags on his clothing, elastic waistbands or cuffs, etc. He did not like slimely, gooey, sticky, or other textures. He did not like to have his hands dirty at all, ever. He was a very careful eater due to this. Honestly, he tended to be picky about ALOT of things. We mostly just got used to accomodating sometimes, but also working carefully to get him to overcome the tactile issues as well.
It took TIME, but he's doing very well now. In fact, he was so filthy today that even I was surprised. He no longer avoids substances, obviously! LOL

I expected that there would be times like this - but I never thought they'd be so bad, so long, and so frequent.
