Some Too Sweet - Tumblr Posts

Autism thing i hate that it’s considered rude to not like a food and not want to eat it. And i hate that i have to be all apologetic about it instead of people just understanding that foods just aren’t for everyone and a person not wanting to eat something isn’t an insult to anyone’s cooking
Tags :
some foods smell funny
some foods too chewy or not chewy enough
some too sweet
too bitter
too salty
and depending on the day i might need a specific type of food to stimulate or regulate myself
my best friend is the best person in my life about my weird thing with food
we travelled together recently and i ate the same meal like
three dinners in a row cause i knew it was safe and since we got home i have also been making it (in batches) because i know its safe
and im in a period where all i can stomach is safe
but also she creates a good safe space for me to try new things and say no
when i was a kid i got laughed at when i tried a new food and didnt like kt
my mom would tease me
or trick me into eating it by telling me it was something else and then laugh at me when i had a meltdown
because the food i put in my mouth tasted wrong
texture was off
anyway just respect people and their relationship to food
it can be complex
and often were doing our best
i want to have a broad pallette and try new things but i can only do that when i feel safe to do it
ranting in the tags cause im sleed deprived and depressed
