Never feel thirsty

Hi I'm new here. 

I've got a problem and I think it's to do with my autism. I never feel thirsty and by this I mean even after 12 hours I don't feel thirsty at all. Because of this I don't think of drinking and it leads to health problems and dehydration. I was admitted to hospital for fluids in December and then again last month. I've tried reminders on my phone but Because I don't feel thirsty I keep putting it off until I fancy a glass of orange. I don't know what else to do but the nurse told me off last time and warned me about my brain swelling and potential damage to my organs. I'm not sure what to do, would a dietician help? And would you agree it's the autism?
