i dont think theres any one food that can bridge all autistics preferences and sensitivities but if i could beam a thought at every new-food averse autistic to try its lentils........ i kept seeing people picking out mexican and indian food specifically as difficult to try/find safe foods because they both tend to be spicy/intense/complex and i think part of that is probably sampling bias that in america people just arent as likely to go to a restaurant for more mundane foods so youre less likely to find or be suggested these simple comfort food style things but in my eyes lentils are like the next tier down from like, rice, for easy & palatable & highly extensible base ingredients

#i have some really hard nos but i dont think they follow the lines that people are more commonly sensitive to so idk. but i feel like #mexican and indian food are actually the easiest to find comfortable foods for me because a big aversion for me is not being able to #anticipate what each new bite will feel or taste like and foods that are cooked together for a long time and take on similar tastes and #textures are comfortable for me. i like power through for stuff that tastes good but i hate a lot of white american food for this reason #idk if this is the reason other people stick to bland foods but i get bored and disgusted by repetitive foods so easily that consistent but #complex foods are my faaaaavorite but theyre also always the ones that take forever to make yourself.........
