Okay since there's no official ARFID tag on ao3, not every author who writes about the disorder tags it. I just started an open, unmoderated ARFID fic collection that you can add any works you find to<3 I'd appreciate any help. This disorder is way too unknown.

list of my safest foods
Costco Pizza. I'll eat it cold. it checks all the boxes. happily will eat it. maybe I'll even add a bit of lettuce to convince myself im healthy.
chicken nuggets. obviously.
thin chips. like the maccas ones. must have salt.
cheeseburgers?
I am clearly not a very healthy person but fuck it.
foods I despise
other chips. if you feed me crinkle cut or thick chips, salted or not, I'll scoop your guts out with an icecream scoop.
peas. beans. I'll maul you.
chicken Burger patties. that's a fake Burger, fuck you.

Whoever said “Hey let’s eat this fungus” and didn’t die so that people now put mushrooms in food is the worst. Mushrooms are the worst. Why would I want to eat fungus? They have such a weird texture and they look creepy. Just no.

Hello Fresh & Autism
So like I find the process of cooking hella overwhelming as an autistic person which is why I recommend this service
Planning meals is very difficult for me as it’s a multi step process that requires multiple spoons.
From going to the grocery store with bright lights, loud crowds, oversaturated colours, unmasked people, and closed in shelves trying to find the ingredients needed.
To then figuring out how to properly portion the ingredients I’ve gathered along with googling how to clean and prepare each ingredient.
To finding a recipe website that isn’t stupidly long, filled with unhelpful details, covered in ads, with the tutorial hidden under paragraphs of text.
Then figuring out what to do with all the ingredients I didn’t use and don’t want to let waste in the fridge.
I have spent way too much money on Doordash just to avoid those steps. So having healthy safe food ingredients planned ahead delivered on a day I chose saves SO MANY SPOONS and MONIES!

sometimes when you're autistic you have to lie to yourself a little so you eat food

So some people in my life like to deny my autism. If they keep at it im going to show them this picture. Why is this significant? I can only eat eggs 2 ways. Scrambled with onions cooked in with little bit of salt mixed in or this way.
Now i am not sure what to call this. Its essentially a fried egg but its slow cooked so it doesnt become super hard yet all the white goo is fully cooked. It takes alot of butter\margerine\oil too or it will burn and I cant eat burned eggs. Its like a mix between boiled and fried.
No restaurant I've been in knows what this is and cant mimic this to my instructions. I will gag and throw up if the white stuff is not fully cooked. Or if the middle is too runny. The yolk has to be softly solidified but yet not completely hard.
People have said to order over medium. I have done that...the white goo around the yolk is not always solidified and the middle is still runny. I've asked for medium hard but the places I go to don't seem understand what that is because it comes back too hard.
This is an autism thing i think. Otherwise I hate eating eggs and wont touch them. I even yack at boiled eggs sometimes because the middle is too dry.
So....food sensory issues are a thing. If an autistic child has food sensory issues its cruel to make them eat things that they literally cannot tolerate.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Omnomnom dehydrated apple chips are some of my favorite safe foods
Actually yk what I'll ramble about my sensory shit
So like I've loved spicy, bold flavours like hot cheetos, curry, buffalo wings, etc, and I'll never not accept them as a safe food.
Sometimes though my sensory needs just- change back and forth, like from "I will vomit if I eat avocado toast today" to "avocado toast is the only thing I will accept as breakfast today" which is I guess where audhd comes in. There are some foods that bypass all my shifting needs, like strawberries, dehydrated apples, hot cheetos, potato chips, and pasta (ESPECIALLY the bowties omg I love the bowtie pasta)
Aside from taste needs, sometimes I really REALLY need a tight hug, not because I'm having a rough day but just because my body really wants to be under pressure for like 4 seconds and then it's good, aND THEN IT SWITCHES TO "If my parents even just barely touch my hair I will die of the sudden itch and sometimes even pain"
Also florescent lights just kill me most of the time which is why I am very happy that most of my teachers don't have every light turned on in their classrooms
I need socks to walk anywhere around my house but I will have straight up insomnia if I wear them to sleep
I haven't ever gone fully non-verbal but when I talk I either have to repeat myself 4 times because of how quiet I'm mumbling, stutter too much to the point where I just restart my sentence after pausing, repeat a word when I didn't mean to (for example during a chapter review of Lord of the flies I said "Piggy and Piggy" instead of "Jack and Piggy" and I got laughed at D:) ORRRRR I NEED TO BE TOLD TO BE QUIETER BECAUSE I'M RAMBLING TOOFASTANDLOUDDD
I have two special interests: my OC lore, and Genshin Impact. My childhood special interest was- also my old OC lore (7 year old me had the amazing and magical story, ever so creatively named "the enchanted forest") that went on for like 4-5 years where I would always want to talk about it and think about it to sleep, aaaaaand My Little Pony (I'VE REWATCHED MLP AND NINJAGO BOTH LIKE AT LEAST 8 TIMES but I wouln't call Ninjago a special interest bc it was more of an on and off obsession-)
I do also have hyperfixations ofc and they usually last up to 2 months, pretty sure that lines up with the statistical average idk
Also sometimes I just need to- punch something with full force. I never get to though and Ik it'd feel great (I did throw a pillow like 5 times in a call with my friend when I was hyper though so like... I've been able to get that excitement out-)
I'm sometimes really slow or just straight up zone out mid-conversation which is frustrating on both ends
I have a wide and advanced vocabulary for my age but [read the prior paragraph on talking], I usually don't get to use it to it's full potential because of that issue .-.
(I just realized this whole rant about my stuff is gonna be perfect for if I can ever actually get diagnosed by someone yayyy)
Mom told me that as a 1-3 year old I never really played with my toys but just lined them up either by size or color (yk those like- tower thingies with the rings of differing sizes and colors? I always ordered them correctly just out of the need for it to look right)
When I was 5 this girl in Kindergarten had a sling on but it was a fancy bedazzled sling so I really wanted to feel the gems but she wouldn't let me and I got sad :(
I've always loved swings and those like- spider web climbing equipment, still do just because I like rocking around and being able to stretch and hang and maneuver around the differently angled bars/ropes on the spider web thing (SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY CALLED)
I also have this like- neck shaking and hand flapping tic/stim, sometimes it's uncontrollable sometimes it's a controllable urge, and when it's a tic it sometimes hurts or is just straight up excessive
Okay my mind is going blank now so buhbye this was super long if anyone read all of that- kudos to you, Idk why you would subject yourself to reading it all ok BYEEE

Me: hey guys, just wanted you to know that I have eating problems/ARFID due to my autism, it's very embarassing for me to talk about but I'd rather tell you right now instead of hiding it 🥺
The group: Sure, fine, no problem.
D I N N E R T I M E
Mev hey, I can't eat those veggies, someone else wants to?
The group: holyyy shit, are you serious? What do you even eat then??? Like we're not your mom, we're not gonna force you to eat, but aren't you worried about your health???
Me (on the verge of crying and vomiting with severe food related trauma and an irrational fear of death since very young age) HAHA YUP THAT'S JUST HOW I AM 🤣
#i wish i could wipe out tge phrase fuzzy eater from every human language#like of course i want to get fucking better#but so far i've only met one person in my life who didn't riddicule me at all because of my arfid#and she also doesn't make me feel like a spoiled child because of it#arfid struggles#autism food

Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!
