Today I want to make a smaller post as I really don’t know what to write about but feel that maybe food could be a good thing. You see, people with Asperger’s and other diagnoses are often picky eaters like 46-89% according to this. They can be picky eaters for many reasons:

Sensory Problems

We can have sensory problems that make us want to have the food in a certain way like it to be hard, have a certain colour and so on.

Bad at eating their food

I didn’t know what to call this but some kids is bad at eating there food so maybe it hits inside the mouth differently which causes it to feel bad and if it feels bad enough we don’t want to eat that again.

Food cravings

Some kids also just get in love with certain foods and then only wants to eat that.

How to fix it

I don’t know how to fix it, but my parents have always been giving us the food I wanted if we were at a restaurant or somewhere else so I didn’t get a child menu or something special meal. If I wanted a fish, I got a fish. So my guess is that the mix that people are afraid of giving kids what they want and that people are eating so much junk food or have time to make some good food for the kids makes many kids picky eaters including people with Asperger’s and diagnoses. We just get hit harder because parents don’t have time to ‘fight’ us.

My meals

Like I said, then my parents always gave me what I wanted and the only problematic food I have is ginger, coffee and for some odd reason mashed potatoes. Otherwise I love trying new foods especially in a foreign country.
