if your son is like me. my father let me eat my food seprate i have to have it all in its own seprate piles, sometimes he did give up but really , your your sons sake he souldn't be forced. i know how stressfull it is. it may sound silly to other who do not understand but having things mixed up (or in some caes the wrong color) just make us confused and upset. if our routine gets mixed up that it and we go in to a black void.
perhaps if you understand this you could try to help your husband understand too ?
i hope this helps a little - atrus
