Hi there,

I am questioning myself if I can do sth. with my diet. I eat mainly vegeterian, sometimes vegan.

I am not eating a lot of sugar beside drinking lemonade and eating sweets from time to time. In some weeks I eat a lot conveniece food, which pushes the sugar, surely high above my regular consumption.

I love salt and know that I should reduce it a bit.

Veggies and fruits are dayli.

Did you experiment and experienced differences regarding your diet and autistic symptoms? I found some ppl talking about positive changes coming from their diet, but couldnt find scientific work about.

    Mostly just avoiding foods I don’t like. Mushrooms and fish are the biggest offenders. Weirdly I do enjoy sushi. It’s just traditionally prepared fish that gives me an ick. Smells and tastes like piss. Don’t understand why people enjoy it.

    I consume a ton of peanut butter. It’s very calorie dense for almost no effort, which is good because I’m terrible in the kitchen and usually don’t start thinking about preparing food until I’m already so hungry that it’s beginning to affect my ability to think. Every morning I eat peanut butter on toast for breakfast and most days I have a PB&J sandwich for lunch.
