What the Expert Says:

Children with autism are developmentally delayed and may take their time to catch up with certain milestones.  Also, your child may have aversion to rougher food textures and he prefers the smoother feel of the baby food.  I am glad to hear that he grows appropriately, so this is not an immediate concern.  

Best regards.
