bonus points for me because I lack the ability to feel hunger cues 😂 I'm just walking around unsure of the last meal I had.

I can eat the same food for weeks or even months and not be interested in anything else and then suddenly mid-meal the food will just gross me out and i cant eat it anymore.

i get into food routines and then all of a sudden its over and a new routine starts. I thought they were just habits but now too many signs

Delaney :
the first words I spoke to the person who diagnosed me were "your bookshelf is incorrect" because it was. there was no order. it wasn't alphabetical in ANY respects and it still bothers me to this day

I found out I had it in my 30s when I was describing something unrelated to my doctor and she asked, "have you been screened for autism?" No, but I get asked that a lot

Morgan Lynn Sheppard :
I do this too! 👋 For the longest time I didn’t understand why I felt the need/satisfaction from weighing my food. Post-diagnosis a lot of things make sense 😂

Ravioli for lunch for 7 years straight. Sometimes I swap to chicken noodle soup for a week when I’m feeling adventurous because things are going well in life.

I'm the weird one who can't eat the same lunch or dinner twice in a row.

Jonell Bowman :
My husband doesn’t think he is autistic. But he will only eat mac and cheese for lunch and it has to be a specific brand and cooked a specific way.

Bronte 🆘🇺🇸 :
I’ll eat the same food for lunch and dinner until I can’t eat that thing ever again. Then I stress while looking for that next food. Breakfast is a protein shake. So I can take AM meds 😅

Kit (he/him) 🏳️⚧️ :
so, I was in the hospital last year, and a nurse added autism to my chart after I gave a Ted talk about my diet while rearranging the tray I was given. she did ask me about autism 1st, and I showed 1/

I also have adhd so that might explain why I don't measure everything out but I DO have a very specific morning routine if I'm working 😂to the point my bestie could rattle it off 😂

My best friend says, whenever we go to the supermarket: "and will you be having the exact same thing again, by any chance?" and my answer is yessssssss

Livia :
I think the fact that the only food I would willingly eat for two years growing up was Mac n cheese should’ve been the first clue to getting me tested much earlier than I was

Everything I’ve mentioned to my mom about our shared odd habits she’s like “well I did that growing up, how was I supposed to know it wasn’t normal”

It turns out even me being cold all the time is likely...autism. So many medical tests have been done to find out why exactly I am so cold all the time, nobody ever thought to check that one

being diagnosed is realizing that I'm just autism symptoms in a trench coat

I got dx when the psych asked me what my current deep dive is & I talked for 20 minutes straight out (& very quickly apparently) about the Wars of the Roses, specifically the women's history of it

As soon as my therapist heard me say I get my chicken nuggets and smiley fries by the 5 lb bags, she referred me to a psychiatrist 😭
