#same foods

[autism-affirmations]

no unsafe foods will make it to my mouth thanks

[donniesexceptionalmind]

hihi its me again sorry (your page is very nice and helpful so dont mind me stopping by again (i hope its not weird))

Anyhow, I got some new questions and also a song rec if you want it :}

I struggle with noise sensitivity and my parents sometimes refuse to let me use my headphones, leading to me being overstimulated. Any tips for when that happens?

Any tips for coping with failure? (I have a massive fear of failure and dont know how to cope with it yet)

How're you doing today? :>

What's your favorite safe food? (if you wanna share, mine personally is buttered pasta ^^)

Any chance you could infodump about why people (cough me cough and others cough) talk to themselves?

Song rec:

Fighting - Alex G

Or,

California - Ricky Montgomery

Thank you! :D

I am happy you stopped by. It's not weird at all! You're welcome here anytime. /g

This is a safespace & community for everyone who wants to be in it.

About using headphones:

Noise is very painful to me & I used to be able to ignore it for a few hours (which is very unhealthy & I was extremely overloaded/stressed afterwards & it ended in shutdowns/meltdowns, so take that as very intelligent /s).

Thankfully (?) I lost that ability recently. I will instantly get a headache & sensory overload & whatever weak filtering I was able to do is broken. Busy street outside & you're talking to me? I will not understand you. This is... not nice. But this is what I got for being stupid.

Ask your parents why they don't allow you to wear headphones. There do exist headphones with active noise canceling & earplugs with the ability to filter background noise. I see no reason why using them would be bad.

If it's about safety: when I am in overload due to noise, it's a miracle I've not had a fatal accident yet, because I am 100% not able to process anything due to the pain & dissociation. It's way easier to concentrate with reduced noises. It should be common sense not to go outside without being able to hear anything when you're using headphones (of course, this excludes deaf people, mind you).

If their reason is ableism: (this might come out spiteful, but at its core, it is exactly what some people need to hear)

Are they wearing glasses? Why? They look weird. Why would they need them? To see? Why don't they just try harder? Squint their eyes? Seems very stupid... I do hope you get what I was trying here.

Headphones/ earplugs/ hearing aids ARE ACCESSIBILITY TOOLS. And GLASSES AS WELL. It's just that glasses are normalized in our society. And yet wheelchair users/ walking aid users STILL face inaccessibility in their DAILY LIFE even though walking disabilities aren't rare either.

About failures & being a perfectionist:

I understand you & I also struggle with failure. I think the best way to overcome it, is to reflect yourself & find out why you're hating yourself for doing things wrong & work with that.

Failure is inevitable & always an opportunity to learn. You're allowed to be wrong. Without failures, we wouldn't have developed as a species.

How I am doing?

I woke up recently, so I slept a bit & sleep is good. Therefore I conclude I am fine. /lh *cries in alexithymia*

My favourite same food/ safe food:

Currently, soup & peanut butter with either rice crackers or crispbread.

Pasta is always nice, just bland pasta.

I lost yoghurt again. *a minute of silence, please*

I am not sure about porridge yet, because last time I lost yoghurt, I couldn't eat porridge as well. But porridge USED to be my same food too.

I strongly dislike the taste of butter, apologies. I also have a butter trauma. Have you ever been very excited about food & then it tasted ONLY like butter? Yes. This - I'm still not over it.

An INFODUMP request?

Yes, I will, I'll do a separate post in a few days & link it here & if you want, I can @ you when I post it. Or just send your infodump request via asks if I forget.

Thank your for the song recommendations, I'll check them out.

My current stim song is Lobo by Tr.be (2:58 to the end are just mmmm-)

do NOT shame people, especially autistics for liking "plain" food. a lot of autistics us too need to eat same/safe foods and usually they're not spicy or anything like that. they're usually sweet or plain with a bit of salt for us. some people can not handle spicy stuff. some autistics don't like it sensory wise, and that's okay. when Bug and other parts are sensory seeking at times we go for spicy food. and that's okay. stop judging and making fun of peeps who don't eat spicy food

[awetistic-things]

dude i just found out about 'same foods' and 'safe foods' n things just CLICKED. like i knew i was autistic but i didnt know i was that flavor of autistic. wow

wait wait what’s same foods??? (/genq) i know safe foods but not that one 😭

[celestialautifutch]

(tw disordered eating)

Folks who struggle with exec dysfunction/sensory shit surrounding food (autism/adhd/arfid/quite a few more actually, damn) do you ever find yourself in a position where your safe foods aren't safe foods anymore but you don't know what is? Like everything sounds awful and eating just feels boring and inconvenient? Been having this issue for the last month and it's wrecking my shit.

If anyone has tips for how to get passed these episodes I'm all ears!

TIL (thanks to A Masterpiece In Disarray) that David Lynch insisted on eating at Bob's Big Boy every day during the pre-production of Dune, and so the art department made him a Bob's Big Boy with a still suit on

Every time there's a food recall that spreads from one company to the next, even from generic brands that are unique to the store selling them, it makes me realize the illusion of choice under capitalism hyped up by conservatives is a bunch of bullshit.

Oh and uh, don't drink apple juice for a while. Arsenic. And it's more than just Aldi and Walmart

[ladyloveandjustice]

JUST LIKE ME FR.

Dying at the last one. Incredibly smart honestly.

I'd like to think Bill was projecting in the paragraph on hibernation.

(fun fact! every color in bill's clothes, breakup recovery objects, and furniture were color picked from ford's body! yes bill did get a leather couch the same color as ford's flesh!)

[remxedmoon]

comfort food.

(greyscale below!)

aaaaa. iii needed to make something self indulgent!!!! and for me that means drawing Bonnie and also putting a frankly stupid amount of work into rendering food!! outside of the onigiri and spaghetti (kind of), most of these were firsts for me and GOD im so happy with the results. i’ve seen a few people say that my art makes them hungry teehee. i hope this illicits the same reaction! please enjoy :3

here’s the greyscale version!! iii don’t think it’s As Appetizing as the colored version and the values are a little messy but! it exist !
