Question for Fellow Autistics
So, I have a really limited food pallet, textures, smells and flavours are all factors into whether or not I'll eat something.
Anyway, my friend (who has never been around for food time and thus has no way of knowing what I'll eat) and I were talking and food came up. She, off the top of her head, managed to name everything I'll eat. I was baffled and amazed. I asked her how she did it and she told me that her brother, who is also autistic, has the exact same food pallet.
This got me to wondering, is it just common for food pallets to look like this or is it just chance he and I have the same food list.
So, my question to you wonderful people is: What foods do you eat? What are your safe foods? Are you able to try/eat anything or are you super picky about what you eat?
Ramen noodles (soy sauce flavour only)
Chips and French onion dip
Tiny pretzels (only sometimes)
And that's pretty much it, aside from random little things that I may eat once in a while, or things that I have to be having a REALLY good sensory day to stand.
I hope y'all reply because I'm really curious.
Have a wonderful day/night/anytime, and remember all of you are fantastic!
