So I haven't done any research into this topic besides a quick google search, but there's something weird about me that I don't know if it's normal or a weird autistic trait.

Some foods and beverages I find tasty, like most recently I tried a new grapefruit soda and I really enjoyed the taste. But after the 2nd bottle I was dreading the third. But it's not because I don't like the taste I don't think, it's still tasty.. but also repulsive at the same time?

I've had this with many types of food over the years, and I can assure you this isn't about overconsumption.

What confuses me the most about this is the stark dichotomy between liking something and getting queasy at the thought of consuming it. That definitely sounds like it would be a neurodivergent trait, but I've never heard anyone talk about this.

So.. anyone relate to this?

For me this absolutely depends on the food. Some things I can eat like once per quarter, other things I wouldn't mind eating almost daily.
Leftovers are fine for me, and because I can't eat a full meal anyway they're a normal part of life for me now.
