Forbidden Fruit

My son is non verbal, in that he only speaks a few words, although he makes a fair amount of noise. I have had three different planning sessions with my sons teacher and the autism specialist at his school. Each time they have asked me what food he eats, with the promise that they are going to make cards to help him visually identify what he wants, and communicate via symbol. Each time I have supplied them with a list of foods he likes, and emphasized that he will not eat fruit in any form, so there is no need to make cards for those foods. Today, nearly eight months after the first meeting I finally received the cards. Over one third of them contained various pictures of fruit.
