So I am new posting to the community. Hi. (I have been diagnosed with Autism at age 4, I am now 26 years of age, just a bit of background info)
Anyways, I have a situation I've been in since forever ago and I still don't really know how to deal with it.
Back in high school I had to dissect a piglet in anatomy class. Since then, I can't even stomach the idea of eating pork/ham/etc, but for whatever reason I'm okay with bacon.
I feel like I'm not allowed to say anything about my adversity to pork or ham to my family, otherwise I get shamed for it. Most of my family members asking "How come you can eat bacon but not pork or ham?"
Even sometimes I don't know. Between the texture, the taste, etc. I just feel icky eating it.
Basically what I'm getting at is, how do I convince my family to stop shaming me simply for my adversity? Any tips on jow to deal with it?
