My mother in law spoonfed my kid every dinner and even though i propose to let my girl to self fed but always unsuccessful as my mil will decline it. Yay i was thinking perhaps she is bored as we seldom fed her while we go out ,we will do it at home b4 we go out. There was a time while we were dining out my daughter turn behind looking at a family and suddenly shouted at them like \"ahhh\" at them...
Agree with Chief. How often do the grandparents feed her? If it's daily, then she will get used to it. If it's not as frequently, and she is not restrained at other meals, then that causes confusion, and she will always fuss at the times when she is restrained. Since you want her to sit when dining out, the best solution is to require the same behaviour at every meal, whether at home or elsewhere.
I am a great advocate for seating kids at mealtimes. It's safer as kids are more focused on the food and less likely to choke. It's also safer for kids to be seated when dining out - avoids trips, spills, scalds etc. My kids have almost never had a meal without being seated in a high chair or other \"trap\". They learned to sit and eat, and it hasn't harmed them in any way. It also means that my husband and I have been able to eat at the same time, and while the food is hot! Of course, once they've filled up, they won't sit still long - but that's normal for small kids.
If your daughter is showing frustration at home during meals, it could be that she is bored. Is she always spoonfed? At her age, she should be allowed to eat some food with her fingers, and also try to self-feed. Giving her something to hold and self-feed will make it easier to feed her the rest of the food. And she will learn to feed herself earlier - both my girls, even the one with dyspraxia, were able to self-feed with a spoon before 2 yrs old. It's messy, but that's a passing phase. The kids will appreciate the independence, while parents will be able to eat their own food more easily. -

I see why your daughter fusses when outside. She's bored! She doesn't have food to eat, and she has nothing much to do. For that age, I would \"buy time\" by giving something to eat, preferably with her fingers, feeding her little bits from your plates, and giving her a rotation of little toys and books. But don't expect to sit and have a leisurely meal. Since this is really off topic, if you have other questions about toddlers, find the toddler thread to post questions. All the best!

Slmkhoo has given some really good suggestions. Please please please don’t take the “easy” way out and hand her a phone or iPad to watch cartoon videos while u eat (like most families do). It becomes a terrible habit that’s impossible to change later on.

Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication. The disorder also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior.
A serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact.
Autism spectrum disorder impacts the nervous system and affects the overall cognitive, emotional, social and physical health of the affected individual.
The range and severity of symptoms can vary widely. Common symptoms include difficulty with communication, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interests and repetitive behaviours.
Early recognition, as well as behavioural, educational and family therapies may reduce symptoms and support development and learning.

Another aspect of autism is sensory issues. It explains why they behave in certain ways and it is also the same sensory sensitivity that gives some of these individuals the abilities to be better than neuro typical in performing certain tasks - they process in more details that neuro typical find it “overwhelming”.
https://www.autismspeaks.org/sensory-issues
There is this school of thought: In the world where the very large majority will design the world around what is most comfortable to them. Imagine if the minority autistic is allow to design the world around their in born comfort level instead, the rest of the people will now have sensory issues. Thus the term “neuro typical” to describe the normal people. It is not that these normal people are more normal in absolute term, they are just more of them - more “typical”.
Neuro typical finds reading lines after lines of number overloading and they design computer to ease it. Neuro typical constantly simulated themselves out of boredom by inventing intoxication/shopping. Neuro typical have their everyday obsessions. Loosely, these are the neuro typical’s equivalence to the autistic’ s overloading/under simulating/ obsessions?
Ok , true to my style, again: The movie “Accountant”, is a dramatised depiction of the right design can transform a person with autism into a more productive person than a neuro typical (have to watch till the end to see it). -
Choose the right school for your child with autism.
