My daughter is Autistic or has Autism depending on your particular preference. One of the difficulties we have with her is getting her to eat a more varied diet. She would live on Ramen, bananas, Kix cereal and pasta with Bacon if left to her own devices. She asked me for rainbow pancakes this weekend and since this is an item that is never requested, I leapt at the chance to get her to eat something different. After making the batter, it was simply a case of dividing the batter into seven bowls and coloring them. I made Alex help me as this is good therapy in and of itself! I was very doubtful that she would eat them but after she saw them all lined up she was incredibly happy. One rainbow stack and she was good to go. She managed to eat 4 which I am taking as a huge victory! ROY G BIV for the win!
