Autism and food issues often go hand in hand, and for me personally, my childhood was full of anxiety and stress about the food that I ate (or didn’t). As an undiagnosed autistic child, I thought of myself back then as “fussy”, whereas now I can appreciate the sensory sensitivities and aversions to food texture that are common in autistic people, and reframe my past self as an autistic child with food aversions.

In this video, I’m discussing my food habits as a child (and an adult) and what I think the people around me could have done to help me eat a better diet at the time.
