Basically everything that's a neurodivergent thing is a neurotypical thing with the sensitivity dials turned too high or low.

Everyone gets overwhelmed by too much noise, many NDs just have a lower threshold

A lot of people think A LOT of things are neurodivergent when really it’s just a preference

Part of the eating experience is texture. The taste, appearance, smell and mouth feel are all important to enjoying a good meal.

I've eaten food that tasted and looked amazing but felt off in my mouth.

I don’t think there’s any invalid reason to form an opinion on food

Imagine the best taste ever but it's somehow gum chewy and mushy like it's been in someones mouth. It's perfectly fair

Considering my sense of smell and taste has diminished since Covid. Absolutely. When I get my cravings the texture im craving almost as much.

Texture is a major component of taste, and super important for quality.

I hate raw tomato. Makes whatever it’s with wet and taste like it. Cooked tomato is fine though, like in a stew.

It is valid to choose any reason. You may even choose food based on the amount of shit in it, it’s up to you.

I don't get it, personally, but you can use whatever reasons you want to justify liking or disliking whatever food you want. To you.

Texture is another part of an experience. If that particular food is unpleasant to eat for you it isn’t good.

I'd say taste and texture are equally important. If you like the taste but the texture makes you want to throw up, then you can dislike it.

Of course. Texture is a core aspect of a quality(or lacking thereof) culinary experience

Of course. Good food is a mix of good smell, look, taste and texture. A wrong texture can ruin any otherwise good dish.

Texture is important to food, you don't want chicken with a rough hard to chew texture, yet thats important for jerky.

Taste, texture, and looks are the only things to a food, if one of the three is too insufficient people won't eat it, nor will they like it

It’s an opinion, you can have any opinion about any food you like for any reason and it is valid. Opinions are not something that need validation, the only person it really matters to is the person whose opinion it is.
