People these days will post anything and call it an autism meme. The other day I saw a meme about having a meltdown in public because the lights in a restaurant are too bright with a #autism tag, and no, that's something everyone goes through. Every neurotypical does that and has to be calmed down by their partner reminding them to think about models of diesel locomotive. I know because I have autism, which makes me an expert on what's normal to experience

Buddy, it's picking the food you eat last so the flavor lingers, just dressed up in le quirky Tumblr speak. There's no evidence this is an experience unique to, significantly more prevalent in, or meaningfully changed by autism.

Calm down.

Edit: Like there's literally an extremely common English expression "saving the best for last" that's near-universally understood to apply to things like food, media, performances, etc. I can't even believe I need to explain this.
