    soups make me angry sometimes, what am i supposed to do? swallow? chew? there’s so little to chew, and yet i can’t just swallow? >:|

    same goes for yogurt, brain senses thickness, tells me to chew, but there is nothing to chew??? >:|

    and with boba tea, one chew is enough to pop the balls, but one chew doesn’t pop all of them, so 90% of my mouth is liquid and yet i can’t swallow until everything is popped >:|

    basically the only half drink - half foods i respect are stews, because those have enough food to chew normally, and the soup part is basically like a lot of sauce

    … how did my parents miss my neurodivergence i have no idea

      90% of the time it’s willful ignorance. That or (assuming you’re in the US) not having the means to pay for treatment, so it’s easier to not get a diagnosis in the first place.

      What do you feel about using mouthwash? (Like the kind that doesn’t hurt and doesn’t have a bad flavor.) You keep it in your mouth without chewing and without swallowing

        yeah but i go wshnshwshwshwsh with the liquid back and forth in my mouth so it’s fine

        the part that my brain apparently has a problem with is - if for swallowing and not watery -> must chew. so when it’s mostly watery but not exactly i get both “chew” and “just drink it” signals which is >:|
