Are you able to eat anything now that you couldn’t as a child?
I didn’t think I had any food issues until I realised I was Autistic in 2019, and subsequently went through my existence with a fine toothed comb.
My sensory issues don’t stop me eating anything specific as such. It’s more of the case I avoid certain things, and I can, because I cook for myself as my children have flown the nest. I had a little think just now, and I still avoid the things I did as a child. Do you?
I’ve gone the other way, I find the texture of red meat unacceptable,. Chicken is okay. The only thing I’ve started to tolerate is Branston Pickle, they bought out a small chunk version, still can only have a small amount.
They do a smooth version now too…
Now, I can eat beef if I really have too, but chicken is a no. I’ve been on and off that over the years. I don’t like the texture, and the smell it leaves on plates and cutlery and even the dishwasher is abhorrent lol.
