Also autistics often have food related trauma, being forced to eat or socialize or follow specific table manners, and meals are full of masking behaviors with others.

I relate to this so much! I was (violently) punished if I got table manners wrong and I was also bullied and humiliated based on what and how much I ate. I've always preferred eating alone. I developed disordered eating too, triggered by a parent food and body-shaming me. I seldom go out now.
