Hey! I think it differs greatly from one person to another. I do not typically feel hungry and I do not have a very positive relationship with food. I found that working with a specialist like a dietician or a therapist can help in creating a personalized meal plan. I have the opposite problem. When I am stressed, I do not feel like eating at all. Therefore, also your goal is important. For example, I set 2 goals: 1. to find what kind of food I can have when I am too stressed as my stomach is not taking much and 2. to gain weight. With some persistent effort, it is now easier for me to maintain a normal weight and healthy eating habits.

A person's physical health is important, and so is their mental health! I hope you feel great when you're in trouble by looking on the bright side, or by being bold enough to go out and help someone in need! You will definitely be able to get out of autism, believe in yourself, as for what to eat, you can choose what you like, and there are many desserts you can choose.
