In this poll, when I say "aversions," I do not mean allergies or intolerances.
I mean problems with food that are not related to health issues. For example, if you can't eat green foods, you only eat soft foods, or you don't eat fruit.
Autistic people, do you have a caregiver or support provider?

I am autistic and I have a caregiver/support provider some of the time.

I am autistic and have a caregiver/support provider due to another disability.
I want to say something else. (tags and comments)
Not Autistic / See Results
In this post, I use "caregiver" and "support provider" to mean someone who majorly supports you with life functions (like bADLs and ADLs). This might be a healthcare provider, family member, 1:1 support staff, friend, or someone else. They may or may not be paid to do this job.
They might help do things like feed you, help you with toileting, drive you, moving you from place to place, help with finances, keep your house clean, scheduling appointments, or provide 24/7 support.
This post is not asking about if you are an underage person who is under the care of your parents because you are a child.
If you are underage, you might still have or need a caregiver, but I am asking about a caregiver who helps with your disability specifically. Not just because you are a minor.

For a bit of clarity: The original asker phrased this as "losing the ability to see/hear."
I changed the phrasing a little bit because I wasn't sure if the d/Deaf or visually impaired community would agree with the original.
Struggling to comprehend things you see might look like: blurry vision, cloudy vision, black spots, inability to understand visual stimuli, etc.
Struggling to comprehend things you hear might sound like: slow or slurred words, an inability to register sound, trouble processing speech
