Each time I heard about a safe food it was an ultra processed one. So I want to verify

      A safe food is anything that an Autistic person can eat when they are experiencing a sensory issue flare up. These foods will usually have a person’s preferred textures and flavors. I’ve seen folks on other threads say things like “Bread and Butter” or a PB&J - usually things like that.

      I think most people have “safe” foods, but don’t realize it. Example - Chicken Noodle soup is still popular with folks who come down with a cold even if they never get sensory flare ups.

      So I suppose the question for those who aren’t sensitive to sensory information (like myself), it’s - “What do you eat when you feel sick and don’t want to eat anything?”

      For me it’s still a broad range of things. Sometimes it’s Japanese Curry and Rice, other times its Indian Sambar (Reeeaaaally clears the sinuses).

      I do tend to steer clear of oily dishes like Szechuan Eggplant (and a lot of other Ameri-Chinese dishes as well) when I’m feeling sick or sensitive, though.

      foods that don’t cause sensory aversion, or other bad things to happen. It’s an autistic thing.
