Fussy food eater

Ra_ja2002

I need help with my eating habits - im a 23 year old autistic woman and its always been a struggle managing my diet because I physicslly cannot stand the texture or taste or idea of most foods, I intake nothing healthy, no veg, fruit, salad, I intake no fiber foods, dont do canned food, ready meals, nothing with sauces, my food is very much so plain, bland, 

I rely on mostly pasta, meat, certain frozen foods like popcorn chicken etc and for the most part that is it, its been like this since I was very little and I just seem to get fussier and fussier, I have to become healthy and lose weight but I dont know how I can manage with what my diet is like 

I need help changing this but I dont know how to do it without torturing myself

    Have you considered hypnotherapy?

    As with most treatments it needs to be adapted for it to work well with autists but this may be what you need to get over your mental block against these things.

    Please research this more if you would consider it and if you decide to try it then ask the therapist on how they adapt the technique to be suitable for autists - if they are super vague then they are probably not actually experienced.
