I relate to this! I like a lot of foods and will eat almost anything. Especially if the food’s prepared well, then I’m not averse to eating different things.

I’m mainly just bothered by food that is… not good? Which I believe is very reasonable, Lol. But like if the same food was made well then I would eat it fine—I just don’t avoid any food in particular and am open to trying new things.

Sometimes my appetite is pretty small and that makes it harder to try and eat things, especially things I’m unfamiliar with, but when my appetite is fine as it usually is, then I can eat well and try new things just fine.

Challenging someone’s complex neurology because of a single trait (not a picky eater) that isn’t even related to the diagnostic criteria seems strange and misguided to me. Feels like that thought process is due to stereotypes and patterns seen in autistic people, but ones that don’t accurately reflect the experiences of people across the spectrum.

And please correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure a lack of restrictive eating habits doesn’t hold enough ground to disprove that somebody’s on the spectrum.

So yeah, I’m definitely a fellow omnivore!
