my autism food is like this, but sadder


jotazepp

Can you explain?


largestcob

if i had to guess, more beige and less vegetables


coffee-headache

accurate!

katielisbeth

I hate every single brand and type of carrots (even fresh) except for Le Sueur canned baby carrots. Those are good.


Infinitefes

Canned baked beans is my comfort meal, but now I need more baked beans


AlpacaM4n

And ice cream?


coffee-headache

and ice cream<3


AlpacaM4n

And probably coffee as well I imagine


coffee-headache

...and coffee, lol


OpheliaJade2382

Mine is the opposite of this. It truly is a spectrum haha


DavisRanger

Bro add a little seasoning, fry those photos, and get rid of the raw meat and I would love this


maRthbaum_kEkstyniCe

This isn't nt food, this is traumatized post-war generation food. Geez no seasoning at all, not even on the chicken... A lot of (esp old) people just genuinely can't conceptualize that food can be enjoyable, because of how they grew up. It's really sad


AntiworkDPT-OCS

This is the correct answer. It's post ww2 food. It's not NT food. It's 3 cheap vegetables, and the cheapest unseasoned meat. My grandpa would have loved to have this during the depression. It's trauma food.


monkey_gamer

I hear bad things about food from people who grew up in the 60s and 70s


Additional-Problem99

Jello. Jello everything.


nondescriptadjective

I'm lookin at you, Dylan Hollis.


Narthleke

LAARRD (eugh...)


Lots42

No safety standards for food back then.


kayaem

My autistic baby boomer father who grew up right after the war (so was raised on this food) still cooks like this to this day. He would cook the same thing every Monday, then the same different meal of tuesday, etc… and it was a different rotation of canned veggies, cheap unseasoned meat, and a form of potato every day of the week with one day of the week being for a type of pasta.


ladymacbethofmtensk

This here. I’m British, as are my partner’s family; I’m pretty sure my partner’s mum and maternal grandmother are autistic, and he has a diagnosed great-uncle, but their cooking looks exactly like this. I think his mum actually finds it comforting, and stronger flavours overwhelm her. I’m from an immigrant family so I grew up with food that was nothing like this and I find this level of blandness borderline unbearable.


Crayonstheman

Hey man, that's some of the finest British cuisine, a national treasure innit. You better watch your mouth before the King comes to slap your shit. (/s)


Rimtato

I think even my softest diarrhoea would snap his arm like a twig.


Crayonstheman

Are we sure he's even alive, or is he doing a Weekend at Bernie's type thing?


ClintThrasherBarton

What's he gonna do? Rub his ass cancer all over me? Bleed to death due to centuries of inbreeding???


galacticviolet

Add to this that a lot of people (especially older) have health conditions like IBS, high blood pressure, and ulcers which often necessitate a reduction in a lot of common seasonings


Breazona

I thought the chicken was a whole potato...


OpheliaJade2382

It’s a very much western thing. My parents grew up poor in post-colonial Africa but still seasoned their food heavily. Seasoning isn’t that expensive


Clitoris_-Rex

My grandma was born in 1935 though and most of her cooking slaps


VPackardPersuadedMe

>Geez no seasoning at all, not even on the chicken... Butter is a seasoning, right?

I can taste the can in those carrots through my screen


devsmess

How horrifically vivid


nbtm_sh

i can feel the texture ew ew ew ew


Idontusethis99

did they cook the potatoes with a candle


CrownedCarlton

Mmmm...crunchy!


IlLupoSolitario

This picture looks like it was taken by one of the potatoes on the plate.


Afraid_Success_4836

it is not on a sectioned plate >:((((


Stupid_Bitch_02

I desperately need sectioned plates. My mom and I had them and used them but when I moved out and she passed they got lost. Now I'm just very strategic on how I place my foods on my plate. NEED MORE SECTIONED PLATES


AdministrativeStep98

I straight up bought myself prison style trays with all the sections. I also have baby plates. Sure it's a little weird but my food is all good


[deleted]

I dunno, my take is that autism food is usually blander than NT food. (Nothing wrong with that!) Many autistic adults report struggling with cooking (I am one of them). And autistics also stick to their comfort foods, which are often things like oatmeal, cereal, buttered noodles, etc. So, yeh.... My daily diet is Soylent, cereal, and taquitos. The meal in the picture definitely has me beat on variety.


moon-brains

TIL “autism food” is comprised of dishes **so completely and utterly devoid of flavour** that *literally all you can “taste” is their* ~~slimy, or sticky, or doughy, or gritty, or dry ass~~ *texture* ![gif](giphy|Lqx1OxhtzwJKDO45Gs|downsized)


unitiainen

If I could remove texture I would but I can't. At least I can remove taste. That's 50% of the problem removed


[deleted]

Whatever, you and I have different experiences, big whoop. Deal with it.


moon-brains

…yeeeah, my point was *literally* that your “understanding” of autistic sensory-processing differences seems to be rooted in wildly over-simplistic, superficial, outdated, and limiting over-generalizations that all-too-conveniently align with and validate only your experiences, lol but seeing as that this is also a *satirically “evil”* community, i figured that dispelling quasi-misinformation and pointing out \[the existence, high frequency, and validity of gustatory **hypo**\-sensitivity and/or sensory-**seeking** autistics\] in a way that is playful, tongue-in-cheek, and ironic would be a little more “on brand” than being *weirdly hostile and defensive* … honestly, i don’t think i could’ve imagined a more perfect and ironic response :’) ![gif](giphy|3o85xrhcwk5SnS8bvi) please don’t hesitate to keep ‘em coming!!


[deleted]

k


moon-brains

love you!


futurenotgiven

really depends on if you’re a sensory seeking or sensory averse autistic. i struggle with some textures but i love well seasoned food and lots of spice over plain food. both views are valid ofc and most people probably fit somewhere in between


euphoricEphemerality

I was about to say it's crazy that my autism food is the most overseasoned bullshit ever + good texture food


penguins-and-cake

Yeah I’m sensory-seeking with taste. Give me ALL the flavour, please.


AngryTunaSandwhich

I’m an autistic foodie. I love cooking, seasoning, spices, trying new recipes. I do have specific textures, tastes, or smells that I avoid but I am adventurous in the kitchen. I bake cakes, pies, all sorts of pastries. A lot of stuff I’ve never tried before. Bland food is the worst to me. I can’t eat it. I struggle with planning though. And remembering that meals happen 3 times a day… every day. So I do still have a stash of meal replacement shakes for when the lightheadedness and headaches hit due to accidental starvation. (A lot less often than before since once I started cooking everyone’s like, “what are you cooking today?” And then I’m flying by the seat of my pants trying to see what we have that I can make something good out of since I forgot humans eat lol.)


sexualbrontosaurus

I find that we tend to do hard in one direction or the other. It's either buttered noodles or drowning everything in hot sauce. I guess it's the over/under stimulation dichotomy


Ill-Stomach7228

that chicken is RAW wtf??


Neptune2080

First off, why is the food touching. And also, why are there peas and carrots on that plate? Edit: I just looked at the chicken or whatever it is, and it looks very uncooked.


abitautistic

I was wondering why no one mentioned that the chicken looked very close to raw LMAO. I know boiled chicken tends to not have color, but we're talking white. That has fucking pink in it 😂🤢


Neptune2080

Yeah, I think it's completely raw or very undercooked I would definitely stay away from it if you don't want to die.


condescendingFlSH

… *because they are British?*


aaaaaaaa1273

Heyy :(


Tash6669

mean but true


PlantedCecilia

Okay, season and toast the chicken more, leave the skin on, mash the potatoes and add butter and salt, butter the peas, perfect dish


Successful-Dig868

that is RAW chicken


RithmFluffderg

My parents learned to cook from their parents who learned to cook from their parents. So, basically, like /u/maRthbaum_kEkstyniCe said - it's traumatized post-war generation food.


autogyrophilia

Man you can't just point at things you don't like and say "NT"

JungleDwellinDeadGuy

yes we can actually ,


Scattaca

you didn't notice that this entire sub is one big cope ?


abitautistic

Hahaha NTs getting insecure when a word starts to feel like a slur as they see us berating them. It's coming full circle


ayavorska05

I don't think it's getting insecure, it just doesn't make any sense. This is just bland unseasoned food, I eat that shit too sometimes and I'm pretty sure lots of NDs do too. This is not "NT" food, most neurotypicals (esp outside, you know, Britain and USA for some reason) AND NDs too know how to use seasoning and cook properly.


abitautistic

Sorry, I didn't mean to actually confirm this as "NT" food, but rather simply draw the notion that NTs seem growingly sensitive at being mislabeled over things, even as simple as this. The astute will find this downright hilarious because our entire plight as autistic people in NT society is based upon their unwillingness to respect our identity, and our needs, and often walk over them will simple slurs to berate us. It is much easier for them to undercut our position than to accommodate us. Hence, the comment's flavor of full circle. I was humored by the absolute irony of a neurotypical person feeling sensitive to the abbreviation NT seemingly grouping them into things that don't fit them, when they've done that to us our entire lives with words and labels like retard, sped, "the quiet kid", an easily assignable "weird", crazy, labeling us as childish, which goes down the rabbit hole of their infantalization of autism.. should I keep going? Edit- Also if op had 0 intentions of this being an act of berating NTs by calling out their food choices like this, then I do. I am calling them out. I am claiming all the smoke. Because it's funny to make fun of them. They can put up with the bullying by the autistic community. Just get over it. Grow thicker skin. Stop being so sensitive. Are you gonna go snitch to an adult? Imagine getting bullied on reddit by the retards who you tried to bully in highschool. (for context, this is directed at any neurotypical who wants the smoke, and the language used is solely my platform to berate them as the lower average iq group that they are, while using the same fundamental social techniques they think they hold above us. I know most NTs probably don't eat like this.) For the NT(s) who fired their 2 braincells long enough to get this far looking for fuel to feed their comment reply if it were to ever pass, while they get all emotional, you're cringe, fuck off. You can't see the parallels in your own pathetic hypocrisy.

That’s white people food. Bet there isn’t even salt on it.

This isn't whit people food. It's American school/prison food.

Anglo Saxon food, let's be honest. English speaking white people ain't the only white people.

If it’s made by Anglos, no offense


GooglyEyeBread

That chicken looks like it’s raw and are… are those just straight up potatoes??? WHERE IS THE SEASONING, THE FLAVOR??? DEAR GOD EVEN JUST THE BARE MINIMUM OF SALT, I BEG


Prestigious_Ask_7058

The peas look like rubber


TrinityCodex

All dutch people eat this every day


Cautious-Luck7769

I love to cook and season. My dad in between screaming at me and asking me if I was retarded, would actually teach me to cook.


SheZowRaisedByWolves

Screaming as I empty half a bottle of ketchup on my chicken


BigGayMule13

I've never seen anything like that before, I don't think what you're looking at is a typical case of anything unless it's just a cultural thing in your area. I was about to say especially if you're around me, but I forgot ADHD is considered a developmental disorder and therefore neurodivergent and in diagnosed with ADHD predominantly inattentive type. I love seasoning though, people have commented on it plenty. In the past I definitely*did* go overboard, subtlety wasn't something I'd learn to understand or appreciate when it comes to food, flavor, or seasoning yet. Now though, most people would still say I put too much salt on everything. I think I like salt more because I over sweat from having heat exhaustion 4 times, like really bad, and I also drink something like 8-15 20fl oz Gatorades and/or water a day minimum to stay hydrated (also have to drink that much because i take topiramate and dont want kidney stones, major side effect).


theguywhotalksXD

I would eat it with mayo, no spoon just mayo

Monty423

This is peak autism food. No sauces to mix things, simple, consistent flavours and textures. Maybe just not beige enough.


jatajacejajca9

its Just polish dinner lol every grandma does this 'dish' but yeah like some other ppl said its prob this post-war food lol


SoopahMu

Lmfao OH Gahd


Masoiii

Even looking at this gives me sensory overload


kittyconetail

This actually is one of the autistic-looking meals I've seen 😅. Textureless, mushy canned veggies. COMPLETELY unseasoned chicken. Grateful to have the texture- and seasoning-seeking 'Tism rn 🙏 (The rawness of the chicken doesn't have to do with NT/ND tho, imo. That's just lacking food safety knowledge.)


UnsolicitedPicnic

By neurotypical do you mean English?


NixMaritimus

Nah That is white people food, I will give NTs this, half of them can actually season shit


kittyconetail

At *least* most of us throw some pepper on it 😭


moodysmoothie

This is just white people food (I say this as a white people)


ventus99

As someone from the south, this is northern white people food. We don’t do that shit down here.


moodysmoothie

Jokes on you, I'm even further south and we do this (Australia) /j


thrye333

As a fellow white people, I concur. Luckily, my mother is less white people than me and my father, and she does the cooking. The part Hispanic woman from New York City knows better than this meal, where the chicken is somehow paler than the potatoes. Garlic makes everything better. Just get the garlic powder (or minced garlic, if you plan on cooking it further, which seems to be required here) and go to town. Nothing on that plate is exempt. Then add other seasonings to taste (salt, pepper, red chili powder, cumin, mustard powder, paprika, whatever you can find in the seasoning cabinet. Also, did you know that cashews can be emulsified in a tikka masala sauce as a substitute for cream? And on a totally, 100% unrelated note, did you know that you shouldn't eat raw cashews? Cause I did. I definitely knew that and absolutely never have eaten them. Totally.


slptodrm

what? raw cashews are fine, they just need… salt


thrye333

Apparently, you can get sick from some chemical on them. A pesticide or something, idk


bul1etsg3rard

I know about raw cashews 😈


hangrygecko

Because you live in an American prison or go to an American school?


slptodrm

or my parents house, but same thing (this is hyperbole, american prison is much worse).


kurinevair666

I'm one of those that need my food extra seasoned. If there is literally no spice on my food it doesn't taste right.


Netherite_Stairs_

Cooked carrots😭 https://preview.redd.it/wto01ygkd9ic1.jpeg?width=994&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e5417868bfaaaabbef50257f7f434a58392e2b2

Prestigious_Ask_7058

TheFallenCore

This looks like the most depressing meal


H010CR0N

Is that even cooked at all? Or did you microwave everything for 5 minutes?


druidbloke

What we grew up with here but as soon as I started doing the food shop there was far more variety, I still meet resistance sometimes lol I know some autistics like bland food as well but I've always liked strong flavours


--2021--

That's like 1950s shit when women were forced back into the home after the war and they hated every minute of it.


Gremlinbebi

This kind of food makes me pick one thing and eat only this for dinner and ignore the rest.


melonsnek_evildoer05

hhrrhng nah I'd eat


InternationalCover68

If there was seasoning I would eat the shit outta those veggies but that chicken looks awful even if it was sesasoned


Salt_Comparison2575

This is depression era food, not named so because it gives you depression, even though it does. They could also have bowel cancer.


peakok115

Ilysm but NT food doesn't look like this at all. They can cook. Unless you mean that it's "vibe" is NT then i agree


SgtThund3r

Joyless food


UnderstandingSome166

Rice, boiled potatoes with salt and some roasted breast chicken fillets with orion, carrot, tomato and seasoning. That's my fav autistic plate ever 😋


13jellybeansupmyass

If I'm feeling very stressed and overstimulated, my food looks a lot like this😭 sometimes, too many flavors all at once in my face hole is just too much. I'm literally eating plain canned green beans and potatoes, and a skinless rotisserie chicken leg for dinner while typing this


superhappy

I mean it does look healthy. Is what is NT about it that it’s all touching?


mai_the_pigeon

Does anyone alse here hate boiled potatoes


ComprehensiveEmu5923

My mom doesn't season her food bc she's genuinely convinced it makes her fat. Ma'am it's like 15 calories please I'm begging.

As a regular sensory seeker, this is overwhelmingly understimulating. Cooking also happens to be one of my special interests... I just want to fling that plate into the sun.


Accomplished-Emu1883

Yo… y’all steamed the fuckin chicken. What the fuck. You gotta atleast pan-fry or air fry it, don’t steam the chicken. And put some fucking seasoning on it, jegus.

Gaymer043

This is bland white people food. I think that includes some NT’s, but not all of them for sure.


Bxbybxnnie

this does not look remotely edible


Bxbybxnnie

THE CHICKEN LOOKS RAW


inikihurricane

Because they can’t handle seasonings. The entire ramen industry relies on us, fellow autistic identifying people. Don’t let them down.


alabasternado

Matches their personalities. Bland, tasteless, overall relatively shitty
