Drinks shouldn’t be chewed

What if “boba” is code for bugs?
Not autistic but yeah I hate them. If they weren't so sticky it'd be better...

Goopy chewy drinks bad
Crunchy chewy drinks good

soups make me angry sometimes, what am i supposed to do? swallow? chew? there's so little to chew, and yet i can't just swallow? >:|
same goes for yogurt, brain senses thickness, tells me to chew, but there is nothing to chew??? >:|
and with boba tea, one chew is enough to pop the balls, but one chew doesn't pop all of them, so 90% of my mouth is liquid and yet i can't swallow until everything is popped >:|
basically the only half drink - half foods i respect are stews, because those have enough food to chew normally, and the soup part is basically like a lot of sauce
.... how did my parents miss my neurodivergence i have no idea

90% of the time it's willful ignorance. That or (assuming you're in the US) not having the means to pay for treatment, so it's easier to not get a diagnosis in the first place.

What do you feel about using mouthwash? (Like the kind that doesn't hurt and doesn't have a bad flavor.) You keep it in your mouth without chewing and without swallowing

A good fruity drink with chunks of fruit to chew is awesome! I also like to kinda chew on the ice in a slushie, not like rough ice chunks but compacted slush.
Boba tea doesn't gross me out, but the balls don't appeal to me either. Just extra stuff that adds nothing fun.
There's so many different types of boba "balls", and even the "same" ones have different textures and flavours depending on the boba shop you buy from!
Many boba shops (at least the ones here in HK) also offer an incredible selection of different things you can have in your drink in place of just tapioca pearls, stuff like grass jelly, aloe vera, agar jelly, basil seeds, red beans, pudding, and the list goes on.
I'm sure you'll be able to find something from boba shops that tickles your fancy, even if it's just fruit tea with coconut jelly chunks.

Who is chewing their drinks and why haven't they died from something horribly toxic

Boba is code for boobs.
borrowed from Chinese (Beijing) bōbà, name for the large tapioca balls found in the tea, perhaps literally, "large breasts, large-breasted woman"
open boba

We go to boba tea shops several times a week. I just order them without boba. It’s just a smooth tasty drink.

Yes, I tried over a dozen times already because my daughter loves boba tea. It just isn't my thing.

I did list a whole bunch of things that aren't balls but hey, I don't mind if boba's not everyone's cup of tea, because that means more for me!

Not sure if being autistic matters in this instance. My wife will not eat grits due to texture but I do enjoy some buttery grits.
This is the Internet. We're all self-diagnosed autistic/ADHD here. You wouldn't get it, neurotypical

The tapioca…I weirdly like it. Except I choke on it. I love the tea itself. I don’t love choking on it, but I forget the tapioca is in there half the time.
the choking is the best part

yeah but i go wshnshwshwshwsh with the liquid back and forth in my mouth so it's fine
the part that my brain apparently has a problem with is - if for swallowing and not watery -> must chew. so when it's mostly watery but not exactly i get both "chew" and "just drink it" signals which is >:|

I like coconut water that bits of coconut in it. I do not like boba tea.
Texture preferences and dislikes are really weird differences between ASD peeps.
