I have tried chopping veggies up into tiny pieces and sneaking them into hamburgers and things like that, but he will literally pull the whole thing apart and take out what he doesn't like. He has been doing this for 2 years now with no change except for whether or not he likes bananas from one week to the next, but his ped. is still telling me it's a phase. I love his pediatrician, he is great with my daughter and always listens to what I have to say, but for whatever reason, he just isn't listening with my son. But, he has a lot of patients with ADHD, so maybe he is just more comfortable with that.

I was a pretty fussy eater as a child, I hated textures and tastes. Even now I have a pretty structured diet and tend to eat the same meals on repeat over the course of the week because they are what I like and things I don't like I just have no interest in eating. It must be hard for you though, I know looking back my mum had a very hard time with me growing up (heck she still does since I live with her and she has to deal with all of my meltdowns and anxiety attacks).
Sadly, you may be right about the paediatrician, I was only recently diagnosed (I'm 27) and I've been seeing therapists since I was 12. Not one of them caught that I have AS, or that I have OCD and DID until my most recent one who happened to have a special interest with ASDs so she was probably more aware of what to look for. All the others had ever diagnosed me with was depression, so I never got the help I needed and it's seriously stunted my ability to cope with the world.
I wish you luck.
