I struggle big time with dehydration. I know it's a common problem for autistic people. It's something I've always struggled with since I was a child, during the hotter months always filled me with dread and still do.

Set yourself a reminder to take a mouthfull of water every hour and stick to the schedule during waking hours.
Once you stick with if for a few days you will develop a Pavlovian response to the alarm and it going off will make you automatically want to take a drink.
The advantage of doing it in small amounts like this is you don't need to feel thirsty to swallow it all.
