    Eating Salmon (vegan trigger warning)

    The pouch rips, the stench drifts It is salmon I have opened Little pink slivers of fish flesh Ready to experience my gullet A mound upon my fork Approaching my mouth carefully A bump, a slip It falls onto my khakis With my fingers I grip This pile of pink fish flesh Then shove it in my mouth...

    Eating Experience Survey/Looking for your input please

    I don't have an ASD diagnosis but I also haven't saught one out. ASD runs in my family and I score on the higher end or "borderline" on self-diagnostic tests. One thing I know for sure is that I relate more with non-neurotypicals than I do with neurotypicals. As a nutritional science grad...

    Being "picky" with food?

    I've always been really picky with food. If I don't crave something specifically and then I eat it, I'll feel sick and never be able to eat it again. (No exaggeration.) If someone makes me a sandwich and it's incorrectly cut or the fillings are in the wrong order, I can't eat it. (certain...

    What was the last thing you made?

    Recently I've made a tool that I can use while blowing in canned styrofoam, it's used to keep the styrofoam from slipping/falling into the wrong place, where it sticks like glue. At the moment I'm making squash soup for lunch. What things have you made recently? Whether it be art, food, tools...

    Rules for eating or arranging food?

    I remember vividly getting confused with how I was supposed to eat. Like, one fork meat, another rice, another plantain. 'But wait. Am I following the right order? I think I ate rice twice'... and so on, so people would talk to me (of course, I hadn't heard a thing, I was concentrated in...

    Taste Changes

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone experienced taste changes like I do. Let me explain, Often, I find food tastes different. Like, I love marble cheese, but sometimes when I eat it, it tastes sour or buttery. I cannot eat it then. Blueberries will sometimes taste dusty or mouldy, peaches taste like...

    BF (suspected aspie) comes across as critical

    I hope for some advice. I had gotten some good advice when I had written a post several months ago. I have been dating a guy whom I suspect is on the spectrum. He is wonderful in many ways. Sometimes his quirks and obsessions get in the way but usually I understand where he's coming from...

    Boyfriend fixated on food and exercise

    Geez. It took me forever to figure out how to post a new thread. Okay. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. I suspect my boyfriend is HFA. He has a good number of ASD traits. One thing I didn't see was a hyper-focus or fixation on a particular subject, UNTIL the other night he...

    The Foodie Thread

    At Mia's suggestion, I have started this food thread to discuss all things food related. I'll start. For dinner this evening I enjoyed a won-ton soup. I used store bought won-ton wrappers and stuffed them with ground pork that I mixed with diced shrimp, a beaten egg, and some minced ginger and...
