Her anxiety was higher than it's ever been during a therapy session but she was so brave. She was trying EVERYTHING to prolong eating. Timia's Ausome Journey

An autistic person with Arfid has actual fears of food. It isnt the same as "picky eating" so respect a parents food choices when they find a safe food (whether unhealthy or not) their kid likes. Timia's Ausome Journey

She wasn't too excited about the food I chose for therapy this time.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 🍽️

It's the little things that come through that makes me feel my mom's presence. Yesterday Timia's Ausome Journey asked me what was I cooking for Thanksgiving. I told her and she replied, "That's it?". It wasn't just her reply that got my attention ..it was the way it sounded like my mom saying that. I told her yes, but it's not like she was gonna eat anything cooked anyways so why was she worried. I did add more items to the menu but she doesn't eat it anyway.

Fast forward today. She kept asking me if the gumbo was gonna be done. When it was done, she surprisingly tasted it and wanted a bowl. She has now been hugging her bowl for about 30 minutes now. She just doesn't like any seasoning or meats other than sausage in it though so it's a little challenging scaping off every spoon. But this is BIG progress!!! There is a mixture of foods in there she normally wouldn't even touch another food with it in it. But today she made me proud.

Today is the first Thanksgiving without my mother. It is also the first Thanksgiving Timia sat to the table and ate a meal other than her usual safe foods. I cannot wait to let her therapist see this. She even asked for seconds. She also told me that my mom is right next to me (it was random as I was deveining shrimp) I just cannot see her. I really thought she was about to reference the Urn that was in front of me but nope, she said my mom was near. I believe her... If you have followed me since Khenadi was a little girl, you would know my girls have gifts that is fascinatingly scary at times lol.

Mom you're not here in the flesh but I feel you near. I talked and reminisced about her the whole time I was cooking. Something always reminded me of her. But it didn't make me sad ..it gave me strength to keep pushing.

Excuse my excitement 🫣. She is grounding without even knowing it and I love it (I'm still learning) When I looked up to start recording I thought I had seen her with both palms on the tree doing something. I am always curious so that I can better understand her feelings of why she does things and how it makes her feel to do them. I want to learn EVERYTHING I can about Autism. Especially since it's been under my nose for years. It makes Khenadi's childhood make sense. It makes everything make sense in my life. And as you can see, straight from her mouth she shared what it does for her Timia's Ausome Journey

Sometimes she's a bunny, sometimes a fox. When Khenadi was about 3 and 4, she claimed to be a cat. When you called her, she would "meow" the entire conversation 🤣 She also used to crawl around like one too. And what do you know? We all let her do it too. I love seeing kids be kids. This is why her nails are always looking like a boy that played in dirt. Because she does and also plays with alot of different sensory focused textured items with her hands like kinetic sand, playdoh, slime etc. Doing so is not necessarily a "want" for her but, sometimes a need. Most autistic people self regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety and help with motor skills through touch. This works in our household so we keep a "sensory bucket" near. Timia's Ausome Journey
