   I'm #ActuallyAutistic and I know food preparation is difficult for many folks in the community.

   But learning to feed yourself is a skill that has cascading effects (I get severely depressed if I don't feed myself food I like). Not to mention, not everyone has the $$ for takeout

   I've been sending this 'sad bastards cookbook' to everyone https://archive.org/details/sad-bastards-last

   It focuses on 'boil water and eat' and 'ingredients that don't go bad'

     @skinnylatte I absolutely endorse the Sad Bastards Cookbook.

     But I also frequently forget to eat for so long that even these incredibly simple prep steps can seem like too much trouble, or something, because low blood sugar makes me stupid.

     So I keep a supply of Soylent (or other meal-replacement shake) available as “brain kindling” in case the bastard gets too sad.

     @skinnylatte making a version of this for people who keep kosher is one of my life goals
