Some are, but eatind disorders do tend to affect autistic children a little bit less (statistically speaking) that non-autistic children. Some believe this is because they are less influenced by society around them.

Yes, children with autism can eat whatever a neurotypical child would eat. As long as it doesn't cause them any problems there's no reason to stop an autistic child from eating junk food.

Some Autistic children (identity-first) may not like to touch food due to sensory issues. Certain sensations can be uncomfortable for Autistic people, particularly if they are under stress.

Are all feral children autistic?

Feral children may act similar to severally autistic children, but the conditions are different. Autism is caused by genetics, feralism is caused by extreme neglect, so feral children are technically not autistic, though I've seen theories that say only autistic children are capable of figuring out on how to live in the wild, and therefor all feral would be autistic.
