I don’t get the connection to autism. Could someone explain the joke?

Some autists only eat beige food. Same as some non-autists. No real connection, just a cutesy meme making autists look like children.

A lot of autistic people lean towards eating ultra-processed foods because it’s a predictable sensory experience. They might order a burger, but request no tomato/pickles. Or a pizza, but only cheese and pepperoni.
It follows that an autistic person might eat children’s food into adulthood because it’s what they know.
Of course not all autistic people are like this, but it’s why a platter with dinosaur nuggets and spaghettio’s would be called an autistic sampler.
