Food and drink

I really struggle to slow down, I also almost "inhale" food. Alcohol is much the same which has it's hazards, obviously.

I eat fast, but don't drink alcohol - it causes me to have strange sensations that are unpleasant for me.

I eat fast and shovel the grub for Scotland!. I never thought of it as being related to autism though. I do not like cold food....yuk! I had always related it to being at university where the house I 'shared' with other people had a very cold ground floor where the kitchen was. I would always eat in my room on the second floor and food would get cold quickly. I thought it was a habit related to that but now I have food for thought 

Yes, I inhale food. I could've been a competitive eater in another life.

But the reason for this is that I can't stand the sound of other people eating and as a child I wanted to get away from the table as quickly as possible.
