Food for my son

Food for my son

Hi, posting here to ask for some help needed for me and my son. I'm a Mom from near Lansing, Michigan. My son is 12 and is autistic and has other health conditions. Unfortunately, because of my son's conditions and health conditions of my own, I'm unable to work and we've been struggling greatly. We rely on social security survivor benefits and a small subsidy payment from the state. Our rent and bills have went up recently and my car is having issues with the battery or starter.

The only thing I care about is making sure my son has a roof over his head and food in his belly. He was born with extreme oral sensitivities, motor control issues and in simple terms, his brain never learned how to chew. We are working on desensitizing and learning how to chew right now which is exciting. It will be a long process with a lot of work but I'm so excited. His diet right now consists of Pediasures and pureed food. He is very rigid about which purees he will eat and will only do vanilla pediasures. It is very expensive because of grocery prices in general and he's getting bigger and eating more. My food is also expensive as I have celiacs disease. Most food pantries do not have much we are able to consume although we're thankful for anything they do have.

I've created an Amazon wishlist of the foods he eats and I included one thing that is gluten free. Thank you to anyone who helps, thank you to anyone who reads this, thank you to the mods who make this help possible. Wishlist

New to this community, hello everybody!

I need some help with an idea for a costume. My son is going to be 12 on Saturday and right now one of his special interests is superheroes. He is autistic and absolutely loves Ironman. He has been asking for an Ironman Suit for his birthday. Had to have the conversation that the costumes he sees in the movie aren't actually real. Also had to have the conversation that a metal ironman suit isn't exactly in the budget. haha.

We bought him a standard Ironman Costume but bought a better helmet that lights up. I had an idea for the gloves although I'm running into a problem. Bought some red gloves and i wanted to attach some circle lights on the palms. Preferably tap lights that are around silver dollar size and thin/flat. I can't seem to find anything that fits this bill. Should I scrap this idea or does anyone know how I can get my hands on these by tomorrow?

Also, open to any other ideas for the costume in general to make it more cool. Thank you!
