Not sure if related, on top of autism it could also be that I have aphantasia and anendophasia and a bit of ye old ADHD for good measure. With that being said, I am so damn picky I annoy myself. I do not like mixed stuff. No flavour combos of any type (Juices or food). Just meat and potatoes, rarely sauces (Just Lawrys seasoned salt). Vegetables literally make me ill and fuck up my gut and going to the bathroom. Good thing all veggies taste like charcoal to me or I would be tempted to eat them. I only drink water, the odd fruit juice if it is real, hot chocolate or tea made a certain way. To make things really weird, I love Marmite. I can eat it straight out of the jar. Very bizarre for someone who hates veggies.
It really sucks but my palate is my palate and I have to live with it.
I've heard that quite a lot about autism; but I really do like mixing food. And even tho I would consider myself picky, I do like quite a variety of foods.
Tho I guess the advantage you have is that it makes cooking and grocery shopping easier?
For me it is definitely easier. When I go out to eat or eat at relatives it is a different story. Not wanting to make waves I would just eat what did not bother me if available. I also would separate the food or if nothing I like I would just do without.
