Does anyone here experience altered/abnormal sense of taste? My pallate has been a source of contension with my wife, family, and co-workers. In my experience, most people prefer foods rich in fats and protein as these are considered more flavorful. To me, though, an increased fat content is associated with decreased flavor and I find there to be much more depth and variety in the taste of grains than meat. Red meat is usually something I avoid that has to be forced down. If I could get away with eating loaf of bread for every meal I would... anyone else have similar experiences with tastes not mainstream? Could my unusual perceptions of taste be related to ASD?
