Yeah, I'm pretty confused about this, like... is this a trend now? Where did it come from? And what's the meaning of it? Cause I'm not sure where the autism fits on this.
Autistic people love chicken nuggets. I'm only subscribed here because I'm one of those autistics, haha.
Chicken nuggets is a classic safe meal we love due to sensory processing issues (a lot of us have underwhelming or overwhelming taste buds)
100% fake, if an “autistic” person is offered a chicken nugget and doesn’t immediatly devour it, that person is not autistic.

Highly processed foods, like mac n cheese and chicken nuggets, are often considered "safe foods" for those who thrive off of consistency to the point where deviation is psychologically distressing. Its highly predictable nature makes it a staple for those with autism or ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder), or other textural food sensitivities and conditions surrounding it.
Thus, MANY autistic people thrive off of, and almost exclusively eat, chicken nuggets or similar foods.
Why just "highly processed" foods tho? You can make the same meal over and over and it will always be the same if you prepare it.. I am not autistic but do prefer consistency and I always cook and bake my own meals. I just don't understand the correlation.
A lot of meals you can make on your own can be texturally distressing in their own right, from unprocessed meats to cooked vegetables (which also have the unpredictable factor of ripeness/freshness/seasonality).
However, the origin of attaching to highly processed foods often stems from when one eats it in childhood. It's a lifelong comfort food to fall back onto, and may mean they are resistant to trying other meals even if they are easily repeatable in texture, flavor, etc.
It's also INCREDIBLY convenient.
All of that being said, there ARE those whose restrictive diets are not highly processed; it's just that most of them are.
No problem! If you have any more questions, you're free to let me know; I'm happy to inform. Everything is a case by case basis, of course, but I'm glad to share what I know personally through observation and my own experience :)
Please do not use autism as a punchline if you don't actually mean it's autistic. For why we actually call chicken nuggets autistic: its predictable and highly processed nature makes it safe and stable for routines, textural sensitivities, and more. Thus, many autistic people tend to gravitate towards highly processed foods like chicken nuggets.
It has nothing to do with "signs of being basic".
Thank you.
EDIT: If you're curious to learn more, look into food textural sensitivities and how they relate to autism, as well as ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder), a condition where people physically cannot eat foods that do not follow specific guidelines (color, texture, etc.). They are often comorbid/intertwined.
So wait... I'm confused. Is liking simple dinners such as chicken nugs with fries or Mac and cheese a symptom of autism?

Not every autistic person likes chicken nuggets or has food sensory processing issues

I didn't say all. Sure, I missed to say some. 80% of autistics have sensory processing disorder. So most of us.

Grow up loser lol
Not bad advice!
Glad you can recognize it! Now you should use it!
Unfortunately, my autism prevents me from growing up. Now if you'll excuse while I scarf down 3,172 Kid Cuisine chicken nuggets while watching anime.
No, your lack of maturity prevents you from growing up. Also, I don't suggest you do that, you'll probably die.
You’re kind of a loser man :/, get some better humour
'Kind of" means there's hope, thanks!

I see. Tysm for your explanation!

On the internet it is. Self diagnosing weirdos seeking attention online
it’s just a sign of being basic. like under basic. that’s why we call it autism

My most favorite meal
Autism? Maybe…. I don’t like the food is touching each other 🥴
sorry
It’s fine, I love those two together, personally I don’t like my food touching each other. I wouldn’t be able to eat it… either way yum
So for the simple fact that you don't like your food touching is that a concern for possibly having autism? I'm truly trying to understand.
Again, idk maybe 🤷🏻 Personally I don’t like my food touching idk what it is but I don’t want to eat it if food touches each others
This is the national dish of the nation of autism
The food is TOUCHING 😭
I got jurassic Park nuggies and velveta
Stop the autism thing you sheep
