Abstract
This creative submission threads together academic literature and creative and artistic pieces created by four autistic individuals in response to the call for contributions to this special issue on Critical Eating Dis/order Studies. Autistic people often experience challenges with eating, through this is often pathologized in terms of eating disorders or as simply part of autism. Bringing together the emerging field of critical eating dis/order studies together with critical autism studies, our aim with this creative submission is to prompt dialogue and reflection on eating orders that impress upon and shape autistic lives, to surface the ways that eating orders entangle with ableism, neoliberalism and capitalism, and other normativities, and to begin to reimagine nourishment of autistic bodyminds. We each explored these themes through different modes of art and storytelling to surface and challenge eating orders and provoke further questions.
