I find this extraordinary.
If you are autistic, (either clinically or self diagnosed) are you vegan?

"no" is the correct option if you eat animal products.

"vegetarian" is confusing because it tries to disguise breastmilk from mammals as "vegetable".

if you eat animal products, at least just admit it.

My hypothesis is that autists food choices around animal agriculture are probably bi-modal similar to intelligence distribution. A much higher prevalence of vegans and vegetarians than the typical population, but then also a big population of high meat/low veg consumption (chicken nuggets) from the ARFID crowd.

I would love to be able to do a really good survey to drill down into ideas like "no, but I would but except for...", vegetarians, lapsed, flexitarians etc, etc.

No, but I’m aware that it’s inconsistent for me. But safe foods and all that.
