… Autistic people eat only fried garbage? That doesn’t seem exclusively neurodivergent to be honest. I know some have that thing about food textures, but…
Yeah, like what? I know my veggies.
It’s more the fact these processed foodstuffs are absolutely held to the same flavour and manufacturing over and over and over. It’s routine in food form

Where are my dunkaroos, and broccoli?
Untrue. I like certain fried garbage as comfort food when I need something to stabilize myself back to my routines, but that doesn’t mean I only eat that. I keep a varied diet with tons of veggies (those with a texture/taste I can stand, and most of them raw, I prefer their taste over the cooked ones) and I try to keep my animal consumption to a minimum.
However… That plate has a lot of interesting textures to eat (but it’s missing the mayo to dip them all, I can’t stand fried garbage without a bit of mayo).
Also, the pizza is wrong. That kind of whatever topping it has is probably going to overwrite the rest of the flavours of the pizza.
… pepperoni? Or are you talking about the slightly overcooked cheese?
I couldn’t agree more. I love veggies
Beige buffet
No tendies???
British tapas
Brapas
Best in the world
The only vegtable is the tomato sauce on the pizza and in the spaghetti o’s. Like c’mon… Where are the fries?
Smiley fries
Those aren’t chicken?
The dinos and curved things below whats probably 2 fish sticks are likely chicken. The smile faces and letters are probably fries
Dinos could also be turkey.
Clockwise from left:
Pepperoni Pizza
(Probably) Turkey dinosaurs
Spiced curly potato chips/fries
(Maybe) Fish or chicken fingers
(Probably) chicken nuggets
Alphabites potato chips/fries
Potato waffles
Potato Smiles
Spaghetti Hoops in Tomato SauceMostly potato, therefore mostly vegetable, therefore healthy.
Technically they’re Chicken Dippers not chicken nuggets.
Some of these can burn in hell
Yeah seriously. Fuck some, but not all, of these food items.
Get that abomination of a waffle fry out of here. It’s kind isn’t welcome here
But they’re waffley versatile!
grill 'em, bake 'em, fry 'em, eat 'em
That looks absolutely delicious.
Not sure if that’s Autism or Britishness to be honest.
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.Just out of curiosity, what does he eat?
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.
Also out of curiosity, what is NT?
New Technology. Those kids run on Windows XP SP2.
Ah, makes sense. Thx
Nuerotypical.
NeuroTypical probably, at least in this context…
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.
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
Ick, they’re all touching each other
Once you pour ketchup all over everything it doesn’t matter.
Y’know, I have a big squeeze bottle of ketchup sitting in the fridge unopened. Several times I have thought, “this dinner could use a squirt of ketchup to dip into.” But because it’s just me, and I only ever use a little squirt, I always decide it’s not worth starting the clock on that big jug. Probably silly because ketchup is famously long-lived, but better for me not to get all that sugar in my system anyway. Sometime when the kids are all home I’ll have to plan a dinner that justifies breaking the seal.
You’re over thinking it brother! Open that thing, enjoy it. It will outlive us both.
Death row last meal
Fried scrub daddies?
Lol they’re actually fried mashed potatoes.
Yes, Scrub Daddies are made from polymerized mashed potatoes so they are delicious fried
Sample platter for a 10 year old kid. Just need some hotdogs 🌭

Sketti hoops in the bowl perfection I mean beans is superior but I don’t look a beige buffet in the mouth
