Since a child I just don't like cooked egg. I will eat it raw though I rarely do, but boiled, poached, fried etc... Errr!
It came to me thinking about it that it is the feeling of the white of the egg in my mouth that turns me and the smell, where though as a young child I did not mind the yoke, and if I should eat them raw the yoke is tollerable (And raw the white (Clear) is tollerable (I don't say I like them but I tollerate them in their raw form)), yet when cooked in things like pancakes and cakes I will eat them. Ooh. I hate omlette. Errr! But pancakes... Yummm!
But it it the texture in my mouth that turns on me and the smell of egg sandwiches! If an egg sandwich walks anywhere near me I am off!! !
Mountain Goat,
This could be related to your autism but just as easily not. I know a number of people who do not like and will not eat eggs.
I am not a picky eater and can eat just about anything with one exception. If something smells or tastes as if it's gone off just a little bit, I simply cannot tolerate that. I will gag on it. But is that caused by my autism? Possibly but probably not.
Regards,

Thanks. You can see that I am trying to make sense of things. When I am assessed, I am not sure, but if I am on the spectrum, would the assessment be able to pick up on the things like this? I know this one is minor as one just avoids cooked eggs unless they are mixed in things so I don't notice them.
MG Before I did my assessment I was emailed a set of questions called a Developmental History. There were questions about food sensitivities (all sensory issues). I was able to make long lists of sensory issues pertaining to all my five senses in the areas of sleep, food, etc. I responded in point-form bullets with category headings, but my response to the sensory / food question alone was several pages long including smell, touch, taste, texture, sound.
I hope you will be given the same opportunity.
