He eats cheese pizza only, peanut butter, cereal, sometime yogurt, hamburgers sometimes, hot dogs, ham and cheese (but often not the bread), suprisingly buttered bread, toast and mostly food that comes in bar form. Granola bars and many of the variations of those. And of course ice cream, candy, and a variety of deserts.
What do you think would happen if you walked him through the process of cooking a burrito?
Ground beef, some cheese, salsa/mild hot sauce, sour cream, shredded iceberg lettuce, soft tortilla?
It sounds like he actually has a fair acceptable range of flavor and texture profiles… the good thing with like a burrito is that you can just basically eat all the parts of it individually.
My guess would be that the salsa/spicy sauce would be the most likely to offend…?
Or maybe if a burrito is a bit much, more like a quesadilla?
I did forget that he will eat some burrito/taco and quesedilla. But no spicey. He doesn want much more than meat, cheese, and sour creme. Sometimes he will eat terriaky chicken cut into small cubes in the form of a burrito. And sometimes he will eat plain rice, or plain pasta.
The fact is, he has eaten most things at least once with no issue. But then won’t eat them again for no obvious reason. I think it is less about a problem with the specific food, and just that he has some flavor or texture in mind any given day, and he will only eat that. There are very few things he will eat consistently.
Whereas I feel called out. I eat all of these… Just not at the same time but its all my easy no effort meals. Except those waffle looking things, not sure what those are.
My autistic son wouldn’t eat any of those. Not even one. I wish he would.
But it looks like a sampler for just about any NT kid I’ve known.
Also out of curiosity, what is NT?
Nuerotypical.
New Technology. Those kids run on Windows XP SP2.
Ah, makes sense. Thx
NeuroTypical probably, at least in this context…

I think they are just some kind of microwaveable or quick bake, ‘instant’ waffles.
If those are waffles, he would eat them. Thought they were waffle frys
