as someone with lots of food texture related eating issues: please know that there are zero foods or food preparations you are required to eat. if you dont like or cant eat mashed potatoes, then dont eat them. We dont need to “fix” a neurotype to accommodate this.

would i like to be able to eat certain foods? i guess? is that worth restructuring the entire way my brain is ordered? No Ive found work arounds for my food issues. Ive worked in therapy at learning how to confidently assert my needs and telling the difference between safe ppl/places & unsafe ones
