"Oh god no" - a review.

this is a review, or more of a rant, about the Kid-Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet by Pamela Compart and Dana Laake. I was not going to post about this book, expecially not as the first post on my shiny new blog. but I need to talk about this. God. I am disgusted to my core and I need to talk about it. Screenshots from the books I read will not be a common occurance on this blog but I will use some here to get across what I have stumbled into.

Book TWs: Ableism (anti-autism sentiment), calorie counting I may have been naive when I judged this book by it's cover, i'm going to be honest with you. I saw this and though "oh! a book with recipes that cover for people with a variety of different needs! how nice!".You can imagine, then, that I was quite thrown off by the contents of the book. The first impression shook that believe a little. Recipes don't start until chapter 10. I skipped the preamble, because honestly I was just here for the food, and it seemed to be about raising autistic children and I am an autistic adult without any children so I figured I didn't need that. I just wanted to know what kind of delicious, sensory friendly foodstuffs the author has in store for us! this excitement was soon crushed as I got to the first recipe, and I am just goint to show you the whole page so you can get a sense of what i stumbled into.

So, some good things: page layout is great, the little icons that indicate dietary needs are lovely! in later recipes they also tell you how much the recipe makes and the estimated nutritional information which is great if you have to monitor that for one reason or another. but let's get to the rant. to begin, I am autistic and have adhd. I have many autistic friends. none of us enjoy drinking straight water. That is not to say no autistic people like drinking water, but it does make me put questionmarks on a supposedly autism-friendly cookbook to lead with it. Second of all: I don't need a fucking recipe to figure out how to put a glass under the tap right? am I the only one who thinks this is a weird thing to add as a recipe? I suppose it's probably done tongue in cheek but, really... is this the tone we're going for here? I felt somewhat belittled by this book reading this. anyway, i pressed on. a lot of recipes were just standard and seemingly random recipes none of which really stood out to me as particularly kid or neurodivergent friendly. A lot of recipes required a lot of different ingredients and different steps and kitchen appliances to use which definitely rules them out for my flavour of neurodivergence (the adhd task avoidance would never let me go through that many steps to make a meal, eat it, and then also do the dishes) but fine, I suppose, different people can handle different things, expecially if you're a parent cooking for a child this might not be an issue at all, and I also understand that to eat gluten free more work is sometimes, sadly, needed. Anyway, my various questionmarks about the recipes compiled with the inclusion of not one, but two recipes for communion wafers. what? no shade on anyone that needs gluten free communion wafers and decides to make them themselves, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do. What confuses me is why they are here, in this book. It seems unrelated to anything? At this point, in between the water and the communion wafers and the whole first chunk of the book being about bringing up children, I was starting to realise this was a book written by a stereotypical "autism mom" I proceeded with caution, because I hadn't given up on finding nice recipes in here, though at this point I had told myself that I was definitely not reading the first 10 chapters. I should have stopped reading. because on page 215 I wa greeted with this sentence

recovered from fucking autism??? if I had any hope left that this book was trying to promote acceptance and inclusivity, it shattered right there. i went back to the first 10 chapters and scanned them. there's bits in there about how to make your child eat things they might be averse to, how to force them to comply. I then, finally, read a summary. appearently some people think that you can cure autism with a low gluten diet? I'm just so tired of this stuff, man. 0 stars. technically DNF. I feel gross after having read this.

every time I think about how tristamp Knives swears he doesn't like food I wonder if maybe Rem was just kinda bad at cooking lmao

like, you wouldn't think it would put someone off from food so much, but one time my little sister had a family friend's kid over for a sleepover and this kid swore up and down that she did not like spaghetti. Like, outright said she hated it. My mom thought it was weird because she's never met a kid who actually hates noodles, so she suggested that the girl could try a bite and see if she really hated it.

So she took a bite

and then another bite

and then another

and eventually went through 3 whole plates of spaghetti going "Wow this is really good!! I didn't know it could taste this good!!!"

and it turns out she didn't hate spaghetti, but rather that her stepdad couldn't cook at all lmao

So maybe Rem's food isn't the, uh, best?

Shut the fuck up that's not The Duck Cake from Bluey, that's The Duck Cake From The Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book.

You will never be her. Have some fucking respect

i think obviously there's a place for pessimistic or nihilistic media but there is something so touching and special about the twilight zone usually being about how incredible life and people can be even in fucked up situations

actually aang does cook. the official atla cookbook says not only does aang make his own food by painstakingly examining old scrolls from the air nomads, but he also encourages the gaang to eat healthier and regularly makes them all green smoothies. in addition, he loves to cook for katara all the time and alters his recipes based on the kind of foods she loves.

Well, "official" show material also said that Ursa was born a noblewoman and we all saw how that turned out 🤷🏾‍♀️ Listen, the cookbook came out in 2021. That's over 10 years of Nickelodeon seeing people complain how awful Kataang was for Katara and what a terrible boyfriend Aang was. As far as I'm concerned, anything revealed outside of the actual show concerning this dumpster fire of a ship is backtracking and can be ignored out of hand. If they wanted to make Aang look thoughtful and less useless, they should have put it in the script

Bonus points if you say in the tags how you developed that association.
