Yeah, between the strong sense of fairness, textural sensitivities, and the tendency towards consistent foods (1), I would expect autistic people to be more commonly vegan than the general population.

1. I don’t know how to describe this, but I tend to seek out a couple easily prepared/stored foods I enjoy that combine to make a well balanced diet and only eat those for months/years at a time. Though my husband would spontaneously combust if I did that now (not a complaint, he cooks lovely food for us every night and enjoys doing it), before we met, I went for years eating oatmeal with raisins and almonds for every breakfast and beans and rice (mixing up the ingredients with each batch to cover vitamin deficiencies) for every lunch and dinner. I was very poor, but I’d be lying if I said it was a difficult sacrifice to make.

I also didn’t go vegan for health reasons and my doctor and I were just happily surprised that my gallbladder issues resolved themselves without surgery, lol. I wonder how common that is.

You might be the opposite, but that’s not universal.

Autistic vegan who used to shit herself whenever she ingested animal fat over here. My digestive system is happier than ever since I stopped eating animal products many years ago.

They should make cases with the adapter built in, the way they used to (still do?) for external battery packs.

Sure, but trends seem to hit harder here, probably because we’re smaller. There have been weeks where it seemed like 60% of the non text posts in my feed were about jeans or beans or vegan cat food. Those probably weren’t more than 0.1% of posts, but they sure felt overwhelming at the time.
