keeping a routine

NAS37690

i’ve wanted to ask other asd people, why it is you like to keep a routine?? i think i have always unconsciously wanted to but i know i can get obsessive about them. eg, i something i wanted to bring up is my eating. usually people say food is a staple in routine but my eating can change. my throat closes up and i lose any desire to eat. my stomachs feels full. i’ve had eating disorders in the past which i think this played a part in it. i suppose then this is 2 questions in one. how do you think is good to deal with this eating problem, as well as my yearning for a routine when my instability physically prevent me from stick to them.

    Your wish to alleviate the physical sensations of feeling full and closing throat in order to establish an eating routine, encompasses two elements that are not as disparate as one would initially believe.

    Vagus nerve stimulation is used as part of the treatment for eating disorders and some components of executive dysfunction. (It is also used in cases of depression and anxiety.) There is even a ‘Polyvagal Theory of Autism.’

    Of course the theory of vagus nerve stimulation involves elements of the central nervous system interacting with neural circuits. Should you wish for fuller account, just ask and I will post one.

    There are many ways to stimulate the vagus nerve. Here is a link to one of them.
