Autistic people & waffles?

[Greatshield17]

I've been meaning to ask, a couple of months ago, I saw Autistic people elsewhere online joking about how we like waffles or something; is that true or accurate?

Everyone likes waffles, don’t they? It’s difficult to imagine someone who doesn’t.

The only thing I like more than waffles are spinach and cheese crepes with good potato pancakes (the thin ones, crispy at the edges).

Or maybe they said we like waffling? I know I do...

My guess is that it is a stereotype joke equating autistic orderliness with a waffle's grid-work...

I thought it was in reference to frozen waffles in a box. Predictable, easy to make (toaster), not wet, sticky or weirdly textured, not heavily flavored.

I never heard that about waffles, but I have heard that autistic stereotype about chicken tenders, nuggets, etc.

My mom use to give me leftover waffle sandwiches with cream cheese and black olives. I feel symbiotic in waffles.

Symbiotic...?

Symbiotic?

Are you sure?
That's really hard to imagine.

Maybe you feel sybaritic.
That would make sense....

I was visualizing waffles stuck to your body like remoras...

I absolutely love it. Perfect visual. Lol. I love waffles. Kinda like waffles growing out of me.
But l have no clue what your remoras word references. Sorry.

For example:
"The remoras swim very close to the sharks, feeding off scraps of food dropped by the shark and also gaining some protection from predators. The remora removes parasites from the shark’s skin and even inside the mouth, which benefits the shark."

Ooooohhhh. Especially the very aromatic Kalamata Olives, redolent with what seems like concentrated EVOO.

Hate waffles.

Maybe a reference to a recent story about a autistic kid who only ate one type of waffle, and when it discontinued.

Reminded me of a nephew of mine who only ate bagels for several years.

I like waffles, chicken nuggets, and chicken tenders. Have they been making me more autistic!?

I thought and still think it's a cool word and decided to use it out of context. Lol. Waffles and l are like one. We need each other.
