Is this an Aspie thing?

Except perhaps tacos. They're a big deal to me and always have been. Always will be.

Gotta love a taco!
South American food really didn't start to become available here properly until the 1990s but it's become another one I really like to explore

I was eating tacos in 1961 when for all intents and purposes no one had even heard of them.

Back then my mother had to go to some effort to find the ingredients.

It proved to be so novel that I drafted her to make tacos for my grade school class. My teacher loved the idea. Mom- not so much.

Funny to think that of anything that reflects absolute continuity in my life from beginning to a likely end, it would be tacos. Is that an Aspie thing? Good question.

I can't speak for anyone else, but continuity is important to me, and I've read it can be to many on the spectrum so I agree it would make for an interesting discussion here.

That's what makes my strained relationship with my cousin so upsetting at times. Only the second relative I ever had living in close proximity to me, and that she's existed in my life on and off since we were five years old. Apart from a bit of "tongue-in-cheek" comments about tacos, she represents the most profound example of real continuity in my life. That she matters a great deal to me.

I’m like that aswell,if you asked me what my favourite animal would be it would be a dog and what my two favourite colours are is pink and purple but if you asked me to pick a favourite doll from my collection it would be hard because I love all of them.

My favorite color has always been blue. It calms me. When I was a kid my favorite food would have been pork & beans. I wanted that for all my meals but could only get it 1x daily and that was usually breakfast. I would throw a fit untill I got it. Then when I was around 6 hamburgers became my favorite meal. I would eat them regardless of the restaurant we went to. I did this up till my 20’s and still into my 30’s. I finally became aware that that was not “the norm” and tried to order other foods on the menu. I felt sad and missed my hamburgers though. I am not aware of a favorite food now. When I was a kid my favorite song was ***** Cat. It was an old song on a 45 that my mom had. I would always get excited when she played it and I would listen to it over and over again until the family could not take it anymore. I visualized a kitty cat but the song had nothing to do with cats. I have had favorite songs growing up, but am not sure if I had a favorite. Maybe.

I do know that when we went to places like Baskin & Robins or Subway where I had to choose what I wanted, it would frustrate me so. I hated those places.

When I was a kid my favorite song was ***** Cat...

The Tom Jones version...?

​

but it is the wrong ***** Cat song. Older than this song. Thank you for trying though.

 

[Crossbreed]

Older than this song.

By Jo Stafford (1949)?

The only other one that I could find was from 1976, when your were 21. (It was definitely not about cats... )

 

[Ginseng]

No, but thank you so much for looking! I decided to look up my old favorite song and am really glad I did. I will post it if anyone is interested. It is from 1958. I was 3 years old when it came out. I needed this. Thanks again.
