Last week I posted a TikTok about my food aversion. It chronicled a conversation I had with my husband that basically resulted in me having to explain to him that I know my aversions make no sense, but neither does mental illness. I can like a food one day and be terrified by it the next. That’s just my daily life (and relationship with arugula). As soon as the video went live, multiple people asked if I had considered an Autism diagnosis because it seems like I have a lot of overlap with common symptoms. This is far from the first time someone has suggested as much to me, and I’ll admit it’s something I think about frequently.
