Can anybody else vividly taste foods when you look at it? 

Sorry I didn't know where else to post this. When I walk around the supermarket and I look at something from more than a few seconds I can vividly test it in my mouth, not just a little salivation, I'm actually eating it. I can remember exactly what it tastes like. It gets overwhelming very quickly in the supermarket. 

I have ADHD and ASD so I find sometimes I go through phases of eating new food and trying new things. But then I sort of fall into a stress trap where I can only eat two brands of noodles and soup and toast. 

I didn't think it was consistent enough to be AFRID though? It comes and goes, depending on the stressors in my life.

I pace round and round in my kitchen. I'm sort of aware that I'm feeling hunger but not really aware and I can't even bear to open the cupboard sometimes and look at the food. Usually eventually have my usual noodles and even just eat a sugar cube.... A piece of toast .

I am craving new food but can't bear to even look at it. But eventually it passes

  • Yes I am like that...I always stick to the same food. I would starve if I didn't have the right food that I am used too. My mum and dad didn't know I was autistic so I had to eat what was there even if I didn't like it. I had no speech at a certain age and I couldn't respond to my name...but my parents didn't know
