Ok, about "quasi-anorexia" (or better said "very difficult at meals") and AS in childhood, personal experience and late retro-analysis: It may well have some links to perfectionism and mental rigidity. When what you have in your plate does not meet your concept of what it should be. Example : chicken meat is this kind of perfect whitish flesh I perfectly know, but these "brown tubes" hidden inside the muscles are NOT chicken meat, no way I could eat this meat. French fries are yellow, no way I could eat this brownish-blackish strange bits at the end of some of them (same at a more microscopic level for grated carrots).
Canned sardines where a 30 minutes microscopic dissection nightmare, sardines could just as well been blacklisted, but were not for some unknown reasons, just needed one hour for two of them..
etc.
final result : a child always whimpering in front of his plate, who does not like meals, and with knees knocking together when running.
