I hate how my mom cooks.

Whenever she makes something she always throws all the stuff she can in it thinking we're gonna like it!

When she makes muffins most of the time what she'll do is put grated carrots, grapes, nuts, chocolate nuggets, banana and a thousand spices! I've told her many times before that it doesn't taste good when she puts all at once and that she should make muffins with one flavor like just carrots or chocolate and banana but she never stops!

Today she made submarine breads with pepperoni, spaghetti sauce and gratin cheese. I hate melted cheese and she knows it. She thought that if she put spaghetti sauce on it I'd like it more for some reason. She always think that if she puts something I like in something I don't like then I'll suddendly love it. Thats not how it works!

Do you like to cook?

Cooking is a very useful skill--moreso if you are picky about what you eat, like many Aspies. I really like plain hamburgers--though I'll have it with lettuce and ketchup to make it easier on the order person--plus I really need to eat more veggies--but I really like plain hamburgers.

Why not ask your Mum if you can cook one night a week, you'll be learning how to cook different kinds of meals as well as giving your Mum a night off.

Cooking is fun and you'll have something that will benefit you for years to come.

The simple answer here is you start doing the cooking instead. Make her the muffins you described and let her try them once you have them how you like them for instance. And next time tell her to leave the cheese off (I can understand about the cheese it gets very greasy if the wrong sort is grilled that is disgusting)

I am a very fussy eater (not as bad now) I am probably different than most on here I can't abide bland food it has to be very strong tasting or spicy. In my family house if you didn't like the meal you made your own. So I started making my own food from about 10 I think. My mum is a good cook though at least so I didn't need to make all my own meals.

How texture sensitive are you? It's easy for someone like your mom to cook a million different spices and textures and enjoy it, not always for us. I'm so bad I don't even put toppings on my pizza, personally.

It really does play a lot into autism, honestly. Wanting more plain texture and flavor is common for a lot of us, have you explained that to her? I mean.. don't play too deep into it. My diet is horrible and I eat about 5 different things. Still, keep up the variety, just, if you want food to be more plain don't feel bad about it.
