On the other hand, I suspect I’m on the spectrum but can’t relate to this at all. I love a variety of food and would get bored to death if I had to eat the same thing all the time.
I also like new and unexpected textures in foods (unless I’m already familiar with it and know it isn’t supposed to have that texture). That shit’s delightful.
But maybe it’s just the ADD overpowering anything else in the constant search for new sources of easy dopamine (while also overriding any urgency towards actually context shifting to eating or cooking mode).
Are you sure?
I was sure, for 38 years.
I was wrong.

Well, not 100% sure. I have quite a few ADHD traits though. But on the other hand I’m social and can read other peoples feelings quite well.
