    I’m neurodiverse and cant cook without support really? Other than like, pasta and scrambled eggs. Im sorta learning though.

    But yeah I get delivery like once or twice a week and if my disaiblity staff and I cant cook a week itll be more. And I’m living on socsec.

      You don’t need to feel insecure or anything if the situation doesn’t apply to you. I mean that in a nice way and don’t think you should feel ashamed at all if you’re in a bad spot right now. It’s enough that you’re trying to learn and do better.

        Thanks. Idk why but these posts do make me feel insecure. I know when people here mock people like this they dont mean the neurodiverse but I still feel the need to remind them about us because I feel like we’re collateral damage.

          It’s a normal thing to get food delivered, and especially normal if you’re disabled, but maybe excessive in some cases in the guy who spent $25k a year on it.

          Maybe there are meal services that deliver food to disabled people in your area? You could possibly take advantage of that. If you would otherwise go with a restaurant I’d always recommend seeing if the restaurant itself offers delivery instead of using grubhub/doordash/etc. You often save money that way and also the driver will be paid better. And tip generously.

            Most weeks me and my staff cook enough food for 6/7 days! Even if its the same thing every day it usually works ok. But also my stomach is not used to small portion sizes so i usually cook some pasta or something late in the day which isnt healthy :/ But Im working on it.

            I try to get direct delivery from local places. I use doordash and grubhub for chains that dont deliver on their own.
