I am mildly picky but, when dining out, strongly favor consistency in known places. If I know how to get a good meal somewhere, why would I order something else?

Though I eat at McDonalds enough there is a short *list* of meals I like and order.

I would exclusively eat McDonald's when I went out to eat with my family, didn't matter what restaurant they wanted to go to, McDonald's for me, I did this until middle school I think.

As time passed, and I got on in years , Found that often Aspies can gave a natural tendency towards foods that their Systems can tolerate. But more years passed and older Aspies seem to need a slightly modified, restricted diet, to be able to handle changes in their stomach/ gastric system. ,That age may bring to any ones digestive or health needs. Possibly adding, That some regular use of quality yoghurt or probiotics product get included .

Not me. I'm pretty autistic and I enjoy nearly every food there is.
