Motors Mommy, just a little word of caution on the Splenda/sucralose suggested above... it may have some adverse effects on health, and especially negative effects for kids with neurological problems. I would personally not give it to a child, and for sure not to one with autism. Our physician told us to avoid it, especially for our son who has Tourette Syndrome
here is
some of the cautionary info on splenda
adding a lil disclaimer...I am posting this caution as just a member, and not as representative of NT
