This thread is about Autistic people with sensory difficulties with food/ drinks and also about eating disorders, food avoidance and trust issues. #autism #autistic #actuallyautistic #allautistics #arfid #food #foodavoidance #sensorystruggles #sensoryprocessing
Firstly I just want to say can we STOP SHAMING AUTISTIC PEOPLE FOR WHAT THEY EAT OR DRINK. I want to stress, STOP TELLING AUTISTIC PEOPLE TO EAT/ DRINK HEALTHILY, many autistic people like myself have food/ drink sensory issues due to texture and taste.
it’s why we like our ‘same’ foods/ why we like processed food as it’s consistent and the same taste and texture each and every time! whereas fruit/ vegetables and home cooked food isn’t always the same taste or texture.

A little thread telling you one of my motivations for this #CitizenScience collaboration between @AutisticaUK and @turinginst.

It’s about how non-autistic folk can adjust our behaviour to make places easier for #autistic people to live and work.

In 2016 I was selected to attend #OpenCon @open_con - a conference to support #EarlyCareer researchers in #OpenData #OpenAccess and #OpenEducationalResources.

We were asked to watch a couple of videos before arriving in #DC to make sure we were all on the same page.
The video/webinar that stuck with me the most was the one on #Diversity, #Equity and #Inclusion in the #Open community.

And in particular the section by @pennyb which starts around 15:30
