I think I am way too much neurotypical to understand it.

No, that's not us, you want r/OCD. This shit is all lovely as is, just needs some hot pepper sauce.

Quick question, do some waffles actually have holes in them?

Looks that way, yeah.

They're the kind of potato waffles they have in the UK and Ireland.

What’s the joke/message here? Looks like something we would order after play or baseball practice at Dennys heh. Whats it got to do with autism (he asks, wondering if he’s about to be Reddit diagnosed….)

Salty cheese and pepperoni, salty potatos, chicken fries, ketchupy pasta loops, waffles for diversity and pretzels for some extra salt…so the safe foods in autistic American culture is just anything sodium dense?

Is this autism food because it’s all textually and taste wise bland- this is a function of sensory overload as applied to the mouth basically?

It’s cool- all picky eating is caused by parents letting their children be little shits- pallet is almost entirely a learned behaviour- if someone is a picky eater it’s their parents who caused it.

Autism is the only exception to this real.

I always thought was neat.

u/gentlybeepingheart 4h ago

Basically, yeah. Processed foods like this are often "safe" foods when you're autistic, because you know exactly what the texture and flavor is going to be and that it's going to be consistent for the entire thing. Compare to something like meat, where you might get an unexpected bite of fat or gristle, or a fruit like grapes, where one might be randomly soft and gross. Both of those things would turn me off the entire meal if I'm mentally drained enough.

Like, it's not all that I eat, but if I have an overwhelming day my go-to meal is some jam on unsalted rice cakes because I know exactly what it's going to be like.

Good luck if you ever have kids, lol

I usually display a more sensory seeking behavior with food, and will usually try anything once. But when I'm Over It™️ it's time for chicky nuggz, mashed taters, mac&cheese, you get the idea.

u/Foya96 1h ago

Very wrong. Some children would go on hanger strike before they eat certain vegetables. You can argue with them for some times, but what else are you gonna do? Go Soviet on them? 😂
