    Wow I’m exactly the same, how ??! I eat pretty much everything but, some things like banana I randomly crave or they disgust me for absolutely no reason depending on the day. I didn’t know it may be linked to my ADHD.

      I’m not sure if mine is ADHD related or autism. I am being treated for ADHD (despite my formal diagnosis being “N24-CRD induced dopamine dysregulation”), but my brother and father are autistic and I’m keen to be reassessed as an adult.

      I was assessed when I was 14, just after my brother was diagnosed, and they told me I had learned a lot of autistic behaviours from growing up in a household of autistic people, and I’ll grow out of it…but I’m in my 30s now and I definitely didn’t grow out of any of it, if anything it’s gotten worse when I lost the routine of school and in-office work.

      Which makes me think I might have some autistic traits that may or may not meet the criteria for diagnosis.

      Both ADHD and ASD have sensory processing issues that can lead to texture aversion, and both conditions increase people’s risk for ARFID and similar patterns of disordered eating.
