And I myself, even with a neurotypical brain, was a fairly picky eater until I was in my thirties.
It took me a long time because I grew up on processed food.
So my go-tos were the macaroni and cheese and the top ramen and the popcorn and the chips.
And they're things I still enjoy sometimes, but now I also eat a wide variety of vegetables and, you know, other whole foods and those things are sprinkled in.
So when it drags on a long time and when it is really f hyper focused, which is so common with autism, you know, the five foods.
That's where it's really problematic.
to me.
In one longitudinal study that was done in the Journal of Eating Behavior, that's what they found with uh they looked at kids from like two two to twelve years old.
Um, yeah, that was something that really shocked me.
And but when you think about it
We kind of play it off as adults.
I mean, I know a lot of thirty year olds that just still want to drive through McDonald's every day and we think it's a convenience, but some of it is that we haven't expanded our palate and we are really married to certain foods rather than having a wide variety.
Yeah.
And that was something that I learned when I was younger.
I was a school bus driver.
And so having sixty kids that I was responsible for in one place, driving on the road, like that really taught me a lot about the behaviors that you could put up with and, you know, turn the blind eye to when you have one or two kids versus having a classroom full or a school bus full was different.
Like you see the the compounded results.
much more clearly.
So I felt like that was a really good experience for me to see why some of this structure is so important.
I would say it tends to be more of a Western country issue.
