Does autism make eating more complicated for autistic people? Why do many autistics have very specific food preferences? I'm here to tell you all about the atypical eating habits of many autistics, based on lots of research and my own experiences as a latediagnosed autistic ADHDer. Spoiler: Even though autism looks a bit different for every autistic, and not all autistics will experience food like this, atypical eating habits are statistically shown to be very common among autistics, and today I'll tell you a little more about why.

Do you have atypical eating habits? Be sure to share your experiences and questions in the comments! ⤵
