I have to say I'm with you on this, and although I hope I'm not going to be summoned by some hens on here who understand the issue of food & autism relations better than I do, I have to also point out the same question mark I have over my head about this.
I do get it that some textures and other feelings are problematic or triggering for children (and adults) with different degrees/forms of autism, yet I can't help but think if one doesn't know the taste or texture of something, how can they demand it? I don't want to sound like a cunt but then again if I do, so be it - There are and must be alternatives to the horrific foods this soul-less bitch has mentioned, surely. No child or adult can healthily sustain on a chips and bread diet.
Some foods are very adddictive and it's hard to come off it, I mean there's a whole industry to make people addicted and then to sell them programs to wean themselves off it. I do realise it's easier said than done - im a smoker so believe me I have tried to come off this addiction for decades but my point is I wouldn't have to go about it if I hadn't tried it in the first place. It's not like my parents gave me a fag! But she certainly gave her kids chips and shit food because it's easier.
I don't know, Im open to discussion although this isn't the platform for it, but my core belief is that she has a terrible diet and relationship with food so she projected it onto her kids. We all know she eats in a pyrex jug something for 99p. She hates cooking and she believes food is her enemy. There's a chav in my daughter's school and her son only eats haribos for breakfast because she claims that's all he will have. I find it impossible to believe. Anyway I rambled for a while now but I think she projected her fear of food to her child and fed it - no pun intended - to fit her narrative. If you're in your 30's and can't cook, you have a problem with food.
