Forcing a kid with a sensory disorder to eat things he dreads, or shaming him for refusing foods is cruel and harmful. Progress comes gradually with patience. And I need to work harder to introduce new foods without pressure or judgement, too. Parents of typical kids are the worst.

In my son's case, it's texture and appearance that deters him. He's fine with strong (even startling) flavors as long as they come in a familiar package, like boneless grilled chicken.
