If I made this kind of money I'd probably get delivery decently often too, and probably would get slop that other people would judge (I regularly get 99s and fast food). I cant cook for myself (besides pasta) because autism and never being taught, so I order out pretty often even on social security.
But I wouldnt go as low as to order Hooters. Thats the biggest mindblow for me here.

yeah that's the part i'm really stuck on, like the food is so mid that horny weirdos go there to see booba, what the fuck is going on with this dude ordering so. goddamn. much of it all year.
Seriously like. Did he just go there a lot being a horny weirdo and then get used to their slop so now he needs it even when he doesnt have time to go there to go
Cooking can be fun if you take your time with it. I am on the spectrum as well so I know it can be difficult at first. My favorite things are stews, roasts, and steak go cook
Oh nice. I'm glad your trying I have found my particular spot on the spectrum makes me really like cooking some things and other things are a struggle to cook. And I love cooking in cast iron

ASD here (+ ADHD) and was also never taught. Yet I still ended up cooking a lot, partly out of necessity of being too poor to go to restaurants. Most of it was piecemeal: I'd think of something I liked, look up a few recipes, and make it. Usually I don't want the recipe to tell me what to do so I read 2 or 3 of them and do something in-between. I made a vegetarian meatloaf recently without obeying a recipe; I'd never made even a regular meatloaf before.
Food components are very predictable. You boil them, they swell with water. You fry them, they get brown on the outside. With a cutting board, water source, and heat source, you can assemble just about anything you want, and directly shape your own nutritional world with just your labor.
There's no shame in making wraps and soups and stuff all the time, it's the easiest way to start. Shepherd's pie, as you've mentioned, is a great starting point too.

I feel you on the not being able to cook. It's a trauma thing for me, but it's really limiting and frustrating.
