I feel fine then suddenly I am starving or very thirsty and its like I'm a baby, I just have to eat or drink immediately. It's odd and can be inconvenient. I need to make sure I have supplies with me if I go out incase it happens. Just wondering if its a shared autistic thing or not. Anyone else have this?
I absolutely relate to that! I always take something with me. In my case I start feeling not only starving but also low. I was examined for possible diabetes but it turned out my blood results were perfect. So I think the explanation here is poor interoception. I also have this problem at work, but here I remind myself about lunch when my late shift colleague is coming. Otherwise I concentrate on my tasks so deeply that I would have worked whole day without meals
Ah yes I was tested too but as you the blood results were fine. Yes I will read up more on interception, I did read firemonkeys link.
