I recently read an article:"A review of autism treatment records identifies behavioral strategies that reduce tendency to eat dangerous nonfood items." This article mentions what some children with autism may face: eating inedible objects such as screws, pins, and nails. It also effectively proposes solutions to this problem such as rewarding the child when discarding those objects properly.
Eating inedible objects is a serious problem with grave consequences, for this, I am more than glad to share this article with you.
