). That is not to say one causes the other, or that doctors won't be dicks about it, but there is potentially some currently not understood link between the two.

I don't remember having problems with "bye", but looking back I think I trained myself to only and always say bye while in motion. While getting up from my chair, or turning around from the conversatiion, or while reaching for the hang-up button.

I also seem to have ended up with something like the reverse of the stereotypical autist food habbit. Really can't percieve non-mixed foods as anything other then a snack. And my food must be fully and evenly combined so that I get every ingredient in every bite at preferrably at a consistent ratio. I even avoid buying pre-made sandwitches because the uneven butter layer annoys me, it needs to be perfectly flat. I say as I am snacking on a stack of iceberg lettuce leaves without any accompanyments. But, those are clearly part of the rich Rohkost diet traditon, nothing to do with autism.

Yeah, the ability to try food without having to eat up the whole serving is the most important part in making trying new foods fine. Another thing is the ability to modify the food. As you are talking about a kid, they might not be ready to do much there but you should try giving as many opportunities as possible. With the "autism standard not touching food" you can mix yourself, but there are other ways to involve the kid while you are in the kitchen. My favourite food as a kid was homemade pizza, because my mother used to let each family member put on toppings ourself exactly as we want it.
