I don’t get the connection to autism. Could someone explain the joke?
My husband is autistic and he hates cheese (pizza is the ONLY exception), noodles, soup, anything creamy, beans, pasta, etc. What does his sampler plate look like?
Pepperoni pizza and fried coconut shrimp.
My autism will go into overdrive when eating this for bad reasons. There’s nothing healthy on that plate. I need some veggies. Some nice tomato or cucumber slices, grilled eggplant or zucchini (why don’t y’all just call it courgette smh). Maybe some mushrooms or something. Or pickles. One plate of veggies and then a little bit of the plate in the picture with a nice chunk of salmon, that’d do fine.

Oh look. A bunch of shit my granddaughters claim they’re going to eat, so I buy, but then they only take a couple of bites and announce that these don’t taste the same as the ones mom gets.
Mmmm, English breakfast.
Everything is gluten
As a gluttonous celiac person, you find workarounds for these. They’re everywhere nowadays
not autistic, just adhd and picky but oh my word that looks divine
Fried scrub daddies?
Yes, Scrub Daddies are made from polymerized mashed potatoes so they are delicious fried
Lol they’re actually fried mashed potatoes.
Ick, they’re all touching each other
Once you pour ketchup all over everything it doesn’t matter.
Y’know, I have a big squeeze bottle of ketchup sitting in the fridge unopened. Several times I have thought, “this dinner could use a squirt of ketchup to dip into.” But because it’s just me, and I only ever use a little squirt, I always decide it’s not worth starting the clock on that big jug. Probably silly because ketchup is famously long-lived, but better for me not to get all that sugar in my system anyway. Sometime when the kids are all home I’ll have to plan a dinner that justifies breaking the seal.
You’re over thinking it brother! Open that thing, enjoy it. It will outlive us both.
I just take little shots here and there to make sure it eventually empties in a few days
Sample platter for a 10 year old kid. Just need some hotdogs 🌭
… Autistic people eat only fried garbage? That doesn’t seem exclusively neurodivergent to be honest. I know some have that thing about food textures, but…
Where are my dunkaroos, and broccoli?
It’s more the fact these processed foodstuffs are absolutely held to the same flavour and manufacturing over and over and over. It’s routine in food form
nutripaste simulacrum
I couldn’t agree more. I love veggies
Yeah, like what? I know my veggies.
Untrue. I like certain fried garbage as comfort food when I need something to stabilize myself back to my routines, but that doesn’t mean I only eat that. I keep a varied diet with tons of veggies (those with a texture/taste I can stand, and most of them raw, I prefer their taste over the cooked ones) and I try to keep my animal consumption to a minimum.
However… That plate has a lot of interesting textures to eat (but it’s missing the mayo to dip them all, I can’t stand fried garbage without a bit of mayo).
Also, the pizza is wrong. That kind of whatever topping it has is probably going to overwrite the rest of the flavours of the pizza.
… pepperoni? Or are you talking about the slightly overcooked cheese?
British tapas
Brapas
Best in the world
That looks absolutely delicious.
Not sure if that’s Autism or Britishness to be honest.
Some of these can burn in hell
Yeah seriously. Fuck some, but not all, of these food items.
