My autism makes me despise the texture of certain foods and certain foods literally make me gag. This video spoke to me. I'm so sorry you have to go through this but I'm really proud of how far you've come and I'm happy you can enjoy the foods you enjoy 💖💖💖

Most people on the autism spectrum (myself included) also experience problems with certain textures in food which may lead to samefooding as a result. You definitely aren’t alone Stormi 👍🏽

I didn’t know I’d relate to this so much oh gosh- A lot of it sounds like it’s from sensory issues and maybe anxiety, I have something similar. From what I’ve heard it’s pretty common in people with autism, and for me it’s mostly texture. I’m struggling a bit with a similar thing and I really want to try to overcome it too. I wish you the best of luck with overcoming it Stormi, I believe in you. Also, I *love* this new style of content, it’s so full of personality and well animated! You and your friends did so well making this video, it’s amazing. I hope you have a wonderful day Stormi, and the rest of y’all in the video too! 💖

As someone who has had ✨Multiple Eating Disorders✨ throughout her life, I can say you're definitely not alone. Plus, the texture thing is a huge issue for me which has caused so many problems in my life as someone with autism.

i FELT the coleslaw spiritually 😭😭that stuff is rancid

The potato transition was hilarious 😂

These animations are so adorable, I love it! But I can understand this, cause my wife is a picky eater, so getting her to try something new at least once is a bit challenging, but I’ve learned to accept it. Like you said, everyone has their own preference for food, so you’re not alone. And as always, great video! Much love!

This deserves all the likes. Also you bit corn on the cob like someone bit your nose

one of my closest friends struggles really badly with bulimia and its so hard to hear it when he vents about purging at least once a week. it hasnt exactly made it harder to be friends with him, but i really wish i could help him deal with that. i think hes getting better though, apparently he hasnt done anything in a month, im really proud of him !

This is so cute. I would love to see more, if you enjoyed doing it of course.

This video was so worth the wait! It came out amazingly! Props to Proto and Bleptarts as well! I can see the love and care that went into this, and the fact that you uploaded this on my birthday makes it even more special! Thank you for being honest and opening up about this. It takes a lot of courage to talk about the problems we have in life, and that is something I find truly admirable. The way you did it also was quite funny and entertaining, and it really paid off! You've always been my favorite furry KZfaqr ever since I joined the fandom 5 years ago and discovered you from Majira! That hasn't changed one bit! I'm so glad to see you experimenting with new content, and am happy that you're at a place in your life where you truly feel you can be yourself! I really hope to see more content like this from you in the future! Keep up the great work!

Very nice video! While I don't think I have an eating disorder (I think), there are a decent chunk of foods that my body just outright rejects. Growing up my parents classified me as a "picky eater" and while even today that *may* hold decently true, in the past year or two I realized that it may just be because I'm sensitive about the texture of my foods. That's the main reason I don't like broccoli; don't care about flavor, it tastes like water, like nothing. But it's the texture that makes me shudder and cringe when I put it in my mouth. There are also a lot of foods that are vise versa; they're fine texture wise, but I hate the taste of them. I can't imagine how this affects your life, to have sensitivity of the degree that you do, it can't be easy. I hope things turn around going forward, I'll be rooting for you girl!

“The finest barbecue rib in Dallas” **goofy music plays** Why did I laugh so hard 😭😭😭

Thank you so much for the video, I thought I was the only one that hated almost every food. Its so nice in a weird way that I'm not alone. Thank you

It's done, I'm so proud of you!

What an amazing and charming animation!! I'm autistic myself, and me and my brother (who is also autistic) both have more limited pallets than neurotypical people because of it, and it can be super hard!! The texture of steak is the BANE OF MY EXISTENCE, and it really sucks that I am unable to eat it ;w; knowing that someone I look up to (especially an amazing content creator such as yourself) helps me feel seen and much less alone!! I've found that an easier way for me to eat healthier stuff is getting healthier versions of the foods I like (protein bowls for mexican food, for example), and making foods that use many of the ingredients of foods that I already know that I am fond of! Getting one microwave meal isn't bad either XD it's less expensive if it's a one-time thing Thank you SO MUCH for talking about this, as it really helps a lot to see more awareness on topics such as this! I wish you the absolute best in your journey, getting through stuff like this can be absolute hell ;w; you go girl!! You can do it!!

This is so random … I LOVE IT! ❤️

Same here!! When I was a kid it felt so weird seeing other kids in real life and in media eat my non-safe foods so easily. So glad to find another person who’s like me!

I know this is a sensitive topic but your animatic was awesome

Don't worry, I kinda went through the same stuff when I was 14, but I know for a fact you are trying your best and I see you getting through, stay tough and be yourself and stay safe, I pray that your eating habits get better, have an amazing day

Also Stormi, you can pull through, you can do it ❤!

I love this style of video, was definitely worth the wait!! (Kinda ranty ⬇️) While I don’t have the same “type” of eating disorder (I suffer from Binge eating and restriction) I really related to you on the texture side of things, as a kid I was not “picky” at all and was often praised for finishing all my meal, but recently I’ve recovered more from my Ed but are unable to eat a lot of things based on smell, texture or how it’s been prepped. A few years ago I went vegetarian which cut a huge chunk of my diet out, then slowly over time I tried more and more different diets restricting myself of a lot of important foods, to the point where I was developing bulimia and fainted several times during school due to my declining health. At the time I couldn’t see anything but the numbers on the scales. My anxiety and insecurities were at a all time low, thankfully I eventually was intervened and was able to go to therapy for a very short time. Now all though I’m not “healed” I’m in a much healthier and happier place. This video has made me feel seen in a way Thank you Stormi

I’ve always been unable to handle certain food textures (most notably, leafy vegetables like lettuce, spinach, and cabbage; the texture of tomatoes also quite literally makes me throw up) so I completely get this! I don’t have issues with meat, but I definitely have issues with other textures. I was in a group home from July 20, 2017 to February 20, 2019, and my issues with textures made that so hard. I’d have to swallow things whole with water or milk to be able to eat it. All of this was probably caused by autism I didn’t know I had until I think April or May of 2019. I’ve also had instances where I eat the same exact thing for a week straight, which is apparently common with autism. For example, if my grandma has an abundance canned ravioli, I’ll eat that and only that for a week straight (actually most of the time when I eat something for a several days in end, it’s almost always pasta lol). People don’t seem to realize that autism does cause specific issues with things like taste and texture, so it’s really nice to see someone talking about it. This video was really nicely done, and I hope you’re doing well, Stormi!!

OMG I RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH. I hate trying new foods, certain smells and textures of the food make me not want to eat it. I will puke if I eat it or cry when I was forced to as I was little. I love the taste of all fruits but hate almost all of the textures of them. I also hate pink meats or beef I always think its rubbery and I think its raw!!

I know a guy in his late 50s with a palette almost exactly like yours, if not narrower. He mainly gets by on mac-n-cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, and potato chips. He hasn't tried making the leap to find neutrition like you have, and his kidneys are starting to hate him for it. Keep up the good fight!

i love the updated stormi after she transitioned! SO CUTE

I LOOOVE THIS VIDEO FORMAT!!!! This was so fun!! Thanks for being brave and sharing this with us ❤

I'm the same way with whole apples. The texture makes me feel queezey.

I have binge eating disorder and it really means I have a hard time keeping up with when and why I need to eat at that moment and when I don't want to eat it's for long periods of time. And then I eat a lot afterwards giving me a lotta weight I can't handle and almost starving myself for the whole day. We love you stormi stay safe and things will be better if you just have hope!❤❤

Yet another awesome video from you! Really love the animation you did there!

I loved all the art in this video, it was so fun to watch and see all the silly drawings. Also the pun (storytime, stormitime) genius!

Good job for getting this vid out! Well done for talking about this kinda thing.

I have a sensory disorder so some foods or textures are inedible for me. As a kid I hated pizza and anything melted cheese that was not kraft. I’ve gotten better but I tend to rip the cheese off pizza still. Cream cheese is something I despise and anything that has it. I hate the smell and the taste. You’re definitely not alone in food sensitivity or even having a fear of trying new foods. I sometimes do it, I’ll go and try something new only to still order my usual meal at a restaurant or any place to get food. I just feel safe with the foods I like and feel comfort knowing that. I hope that we stop calling people picky like it’s negative, sometimes it’s something not in our control even if we try to work on it. It’s not easy as people want to think it is

Stormi, I just wanna say it. You are quite an inspiration for me in a few ways. While I cannot relate to the eating disorder thing in particular, you aren't afraid to show the real you and be happy with yourself as you transition. I recently began transitioning myself and have felt such a rush of happiness that nowadays I can find it much easier to get out of bed and get myself going for the day than I used to. Keep being the heckin' great folf that you are and don't let anybody stop you! And of course try to overcome any obstacle you want to overcome!

I feel your pain. Much like others have said, I too am on the autism spectrum and have had issues with texture in food ever since I was a child. Your video explained almost everything that I go through and why this is an issue for me to a T. Even the fact that I am not a fan of mint, especially toothpaste. I struggle every day with this and it is definitely a health concern. From the fact that I eat almost the same thing for lunch everyday at work and have to rely on a microwave for all my meals, or that I have a severe magnesium deficiency that screwed up my back and sent me to the hospital earlier this year. I wish I could just eat whatever, whenever, wherever. But the fear of an extreme gag reflex from my body, a hard time processing tastes, and, to make matters worse, not being great at explaining things to others in the moment. Thank you for sharing Stormi. This animation is quite cute, silly, but also personal. It felt like almost the same tone as your transgender journey but with a bit of lightheartedness sprinkled in. I hope you continue more of these in the future.

I expected a cool animatic and I got an cool animatic that called me out during it's entirety xDD

I enjoy this video a lot. It is good to hear more stories from you girl. Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to to hear more stories

im laughing so hard rn, ive never laughed so hard in my life, thank you for introducing this to me i also hate most foods for that reason. i totally get that

Awesome vid stormy! Loved the animation. I knew you had an eating disorder, just didn't know the extent of it. I wish you luck in finding more edible foods for you ^w^/

DUDE corn off the cob tastes like HEAVEN

Watching this immediately after I had just finished eating a meat pizza XD But yeah I understand how you feel about meat. I don’t feel the same way about meat, I actually love meat with a passion, but whenever I eat mushrooms, my reaction is the same way yours is about meat. The texture makes me gag. And OMG I have IBS too it sucks!

This is soooo cute. I love your drawing style ✨️

awesome animation! i have similar sensory problems with food

This is an amazing video stormi! I hope you can figure way around this, its possible you might just be more of a texture eater where the texture of certain things will just turn you off but i can't say for certain since i'm not really smart when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm glad you're trying to best to improve on this, take it one step at a time ^^

I understand completely. I am lactos intolerent, I avoid my family but they make the same coments when I tell them I can't eat certain things or at some restarants. I try to cook and bake everything so I feel safe eating it. I have this problem a lot when I am out with friends and feel like a huge inconvinience when they want to eat pizza but I know that will make me pray for death. Thank you for sharing this with us!

I did have an eating disorder recently when getting on a new anti depressant medication I had never tried before. It was so awful. The thought of even eating anything made me sick and I rarely felt hungry at any point during the day. I was lucky if I even ate one meal each day tbh. I wasn’t sure if it was partly because of stress as well, but it was still a very scary time.

Thank you, I have never seen a single video that mentions my situation in the slightest, let alone relates to my situation so much ever 💜

What you described reminds me a lot of a friend of mine. He has extremely selective preferences for food, consisting mainly of 100% carbs and junk food. He can't tolerate the taste or texture of meat, cheese, or any vegetables that I know of. A few years ago he was formally diagnosed with (I think) Asperger's, or at least something on the autism spectrum. You'd never know it to meet him, but one of the symptoms of it is intolerance of those tastes and textures. Once he found out what the root cause was, he was able to adjust his diet somewhat, address his obesity, make sure he was getting the right vitamins and minerals with supplements since what he was eating wasn't cutting it, and ended up losing a lot of weight.

Stormi, your voice is changing! I love seeing that you are becoming your true self, I accept you as a woman stormi!

I have a huge eating disorder. I am so glad to know I am not the only one.

This is so good I’m so happy it’s finally out!

MY FRIDGE IS FULL OF VARIOUS FOODS THAT STORMI TOOK ONE SMALL BITE OUT OF HELP

Good job on the video!!! Loved it

I feel your pain, Stormi! Textures, smells, temperature - it doesn't take much to put me off food. And I even seive ramen powder because no I do not want these teeny tiny carrot peices in my noodles, thank you very much. Best of luck in conquring your sensory issues, you got this girl!

girl you definitely aint alone. im not having quite the same issues as you, but i still feel ya! i almost never end up eating full/proper meals, instead i kinda just, like, snack uncontrollably, and yes some days ill have multiple soda cans too. all im saying is, youre not alone!

THIS WAS SO CUTE AND FUNNY 😄😄! Excellent work!

THE MINTY TOOTHPASTE ONE IS SO TRUE NOT EVEN TOOTHPASTE, LIKE MINT BUBBLEGUM TOO HOW DO PEOPLE LIKE MINT-

I like how your fursoney made the face of the DUUUUEAAUEAUUGGH!!! guy from SpongeBob😂

You are who are queen stormi you should always think positive , and we are all here to support you when ever you feel down much love from the 🇬🇧

Great vid Stormi and kudos for trying new things even though it can be difficult, stay awesome ya beautiful bean ❤

I didn't realize that "qualified" as an eating disorder!! I experience very similar struggles with food. All my childhood I'd only eat chicken nuggets, plain pizza (I couldn't do pepperoni back then- not that I tried it until I was a middle schooler), simple chicken (no veg) flavored ramen, and PB&J sandwiches. I still struggle to try new foods and won't if I don't like the smell. "looks bad" or I don't know what's in it. I've always been told off by my doctor to eat better but I couldn't- everything was so "gross" to me and I always felt terrible and like an inconvenience when I went over to people's houses or out to eat with people who weren't as kind about my fight with food. Adults would bully me and shame me for not trying new things or they would compare me to my cousin who would eat everything and be willing to try anything. It hurt and was so annoying because they didn't understand- they still don't understand. I still don't understand why I can't have a normal relationship with food. I want to get better but I'm afraid of ridicule and judgment; I'm afraid to try. It doesn't help that I don't know how to cook either and that I am in college now. I can eat some things now, and my food list has expanded but I still struggle with vegetables and "healthier" foods . I'm not diagnosed with anything like autism, ADHD, anxiety, or any other mental disorder/illness so I don't really know what could be the cause of this. I feel relieved to see that there are people out there who also struggle similarly to me; as an adult, not just as children. I am happy to know that I am not alone, we aren't alone with these struggles

I liked your story. Loved the animations

I have Apraxia of speech and I’ve always had intense food sensitivity. I’ve had all the same problems and it’s rare for someone to understand❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I feel this ive been dealing with eating disorder my whole life! Ive bern getting better with it but it definitely not easy😅 i love this video

Why do I relate to this so much

If there's any food I hate, it would probably be broccoli or any similar veggie that isn't salted or seasoned. I tend to be very picky with sauces too, only liking certain sauces with certain foods. You're improving, you got it girl uwu

I tend to eat way too little or way too much. I'm not particularly picky but, sometimes I get in moods where eating just seems horrible unappealing...like I think if I ate anything I'd throw up. But I'm glad to hear things are going better as you try to overcome your issues.

I can relate with the texture part of it a lot.

I have PKU which meant, as a kid growing up, I was not allowed to eat a lot of foods (mostly those that contained a lot of protein).

this reminds me of a time when i was younger, my parents forcing me to stay at the table to eat stuffing, when i absolutely DESPISED it. it was overwhelming to the taste buds and squishy and gross to me. i’ve always disliked fried chicken as well for the overly greasy texture of it as well as mushrooms because of their texture. i think i like most fruits, i like a few veggies, and i quite like burgers and pepperoni, grilled chicken, and even sausage. but other meats just.. taste either nasty or just overwhelming to me. ones that don’t, i have a texture problem with. i was always afraid i have been too picky, but my therapist tells me i show heavy signs of autism, so i understand how it is to be egged on to eat something you really just can’t bring yourself to consume.

When i was younger, my autism made me hate Swiss cheese for some reason. Now i eat Swiss cheese in my sandwiches or lunch.

I have never related to “OOH CROUTONS!” more than I did with this video

I have a binge eating disorder. Ever since I was young I would crave chocolate and junk food. I will eat an entire bag of chips until I feel sick. You may be thinking. Well then just control yourself? That’s the problem, I can’t.. it’s gotten a lot better and I’m making improvements. I’m proud of you Stormi!

I eat to cope with depression, anxiety and pain. Then I get mad and go for some radical diet, lose a bunch and go back. So I switched to one meal a day. I never liked breakfast and it didn't take too long to get used to skipping lunch. With OMAD it's way easier not to overeat, even on calorically dense foods.

I felt this stormi….. I suffer from struggling to try new foods/being unable to eat fruits&veggies I’m trying so hard! I understand the struggle you aren’t in this alone!

I can definitely feel this at times. Glad I've mostly changed for it

i relate to what you're saying! i have autism with really bad sensory issues when it comes to texture, which was worsened by the daycare i went to when i was little force-feeding me stuff (also some psychosis related issues with food that i'd rather not get into) even when i told them it made me feel like i was going to throw up, specifically meats. i have been slowly being able to eat some of the foods they ruined for me, but there are still foods that make me feel like i'm going to throw up from the smell alone! it's really nice to hear that someone else has this kind of issue, (not nice that you have to experience it of course, but it makes me feel better about it knowing i'm not alone.) edit: water also makes me gag! the only way i can drink it is if it's filtered water that's been chilled in the fridge and i need to put tons of ice in it. room temperature water feels like it's full of cat hair!

I can really relate to the sentiment of certain foods being impossible to eat due to the texture or taste. I love chicken, chips (fries for you Americans) and certain fruits like bananas and apples (though bananas have to be at just the right amount of ripeness otherwise they make me gag), but the only vegetables I like are potatoes and peas, and I can't eat most fruits due to the texture (oranges are the worst.) It's actually quite common in autistic people due to the sensory differences we tend to have. I'm glad things are improving for you, one step at a time, and I personally look forward to seeing more content like this (if that's what you want to make, of course). Cheers, Stormi!

I relate to this way to much.

I feel ya here Stormi. I've got autism, and certain foods that a lot of people seem to like are just no-goes for me.

im still like this stormi. i believe you can control it (if you want) also thanks for the new stream yesterday

My Autism make me dislike some food and even gag like water cooked potatoes,some cooked vegetables and other stuff. Im totally understand you, Stormi and i know its difficult to pass over a Eating Disorder but i know you can do it,just take your time don't rush.Have a happy life😘😘😘

I have the exact feeling when eating new things or even thing's I've had before. Anyways Love Your vidoes Stormi!! ❤

This video speaks to me on so many levels. Texture isn't so much the problem for me, it's portion sizes. I've always had a problem with sticking to a certain amount for a serving, especially if it's a snack food. It doesn't help that I'm super self-conscious about my weight, too. Pandemic measures have been my best friend, strangely enough. I'm eating less than I was before the pandemic, and I'm trying to get more exercise and diversify my palate where I can. You can do this, Stormi

Great Animation

With the water im the same way water just isnt that good when not cold or flavored to me, my adhd also makes me gag from certain textures which is why i cant eat watermelon

Lmao, I love the SpongeBob faces

Oh wow, I guess I never realized what I have what an eating disorder, I guess it’s not as bad but I’m very keen on textures like the texture and taste of water my throat closes when I try to even drink a cup of it, so I usually drink sparkling water

This has me worried cause this is how I react with food

Stormi is the queen of snacks 😌👑 🍿

I can relate to this, as I'm autistic and I think I have ARFID. I swear, anything that has a soft, thick, sometimes rubbery textures that can't just dissolve in my mouth is more likely to make me gag than anything else

5:06 I can relate to this at least when it comes to unpeeled apples. Peeled, its fine. I don't have a problem with the flesh of the fruit. What I have a problem with is the skin. Every time I bite on an apple with its skin it makes me shiver for some reason like that feeling you get if you get from hearing styrofoam squeak except worse. Its like sound and also the feeling of it is reverberating through my teeth and into my spine.

I can't do tiny corn. The mini cobs in stir fry? Yeah, those sleeve me out something fierce. Also, the seaweed on sushi makes me gag. Also mushrooms. They have to be chopped, almost pureed. I can't handle their squishiness. And not to feed into an addiction, have you ever had a pizza roll from philly? You get them in chinese restaurants. Think egg roll, but with pizza inside instead. Heaven...... But, everybody has a food they can't tolerate, or many. It's okay. You keep trying, and maybe you'll find something. It's okay to not eat meat, it's not for everyone (and getting stupidly expensive). Dont feel guilty (I know, easier said then done), you just do you. Hang in there girl. You're not alone, and you got this.

I believe in you!!

As someone with autism and anorexia it's really difficult because I can only eat exactly the same things every single time I eat. Anything with oil, meat, vegetables, more than 3 textures, and like 99% of all food I just can't eat jdjsjs I like bread and some cereals and certain crackers and yoghurt and like 3 fruits and that's it. I'm scared to order out or eat in front of people so I can't go eat out with friends or family or on a date. It makes things hard but I chose to be around people who understand and support me.

Oh no, my kid hates minty toothpaste, too!

I feel very called out lol

I understand I have a simaler problem something may taste amazing but if the texture is off I absolutely despise it. But my culture leans that towards meat while fruits and veggies are fine I also find water that isn't chilled a bit revolting so I feel you girl!

Cześć stormi folf

I don't really have a eating disorder but I do have severe acid reflux. It sucks that I can't eat pizza all the time or enjoy a nice pasta or burger. And don't even get me started on spicy foods. I enjoy Cajun stuff like gumbo and jambalaya but my body just HATES it. And sea food? Forget it. My family went out to eat at a spot on the gulf coast called shaggy's (if you know you know) and it completely disappointed me to not be able to handle the food. My dad reassures me that it's ok and that it isn't my fault but idk. All the medications I take don't really affect my A.R. I'm basically doomed to eat a plant based diet. Of course I don't let it stop me but I'm sure gonna pay the price right after.
