    I’ll be honest and say straight up that I don’t like mushrooms. But if you can dice them up into a stew or something so that I don’t notice that’s fine. But I can’t help but fixate on them whenever I see them on food, even if the taste isn’t that strong. Same with onion rings. Onion rings were ruined when I noticed they weren’t just some weird French fry my parents bought.

    Granted I’m reasonable about food and don’t ask for special orders. So I won’t through a fit about stuff. But there no need to force someone to change if you don’t think they are willing. Doubly so if they have autism.

      “But I can’t help but fixate on them whenever I see them on food.”

      This is the part where you’ve got some deep seeded mental disgust for a completely safe, healthy, and nutritious food. Why it came about is for you to answer and resolve if you wish.

      Just don’t get defensive when people call you picky, because you are.
