    See, for me hunger is an all consuming distraction. There have been very few times I get so hyper focused I forget to eat.

    Medication helps, but I still get hungry and crave chocolate.

      Try smoking/vaping weed every day. Eventually you get your tolerance to the point where the anti-munchies kick in, i.e. you won’t be able to eat if you don’t smoke. Great for weight loss.

      Unfortunately you won’t be able to sleep, either, but that’s why you simply partake shortly before bed and then fall asleep before you get hungry.

        Lol every day. Not the best plan. Also munchies always hit when I was a daily use addict for over 15 years. Be careful with mind altering substances.

      Same, never understood this side of ADHD. Meal time is the only time I don’t deal with dysregulation lmao

    Or the old deciding I need to eat, getting up and going to the kitchen, seeing a chore that needs done to unlock the ability to eat certain foods, like I want ramen but my pots are on the drying rack, then realizing after I had been sitting down again for an hour that I just put away everything on the drying rack and forgot to cook and eat the ramen.

    Then get up, go to the kitchen, and notice that the plants need to be watered…

      If all you need is to see if you likely have it (without an official diagnosis), you can search for ASRSv1.1. Answer the questions brutally truthfully. Again, it’s not a diagnosis, but it’ll tell you if you likely have it.

    I can’t be the only one who eats an entire loaf of cinnamon raisin bread the moment I wake up, then isn’t hungry the rest of the day

    I would love to go back to that and be a healthy weight again, but being forced to eat at scheduled times due to pressure from family and social scheduling means I end up eating too much over the course of the day even if I’m not hungry.

      Hope you’ll eventually be able to stop caring about pressure from family and social scheduling. I wish you well.

      My recommendation is to eat just a little at the “scheduled” times, and and eat your main meal when your hungry.

      The biggest problem with obesity is when we override our hunger signals. Then things get real bad real quick.

    For breakfast I can get a whole socially acceptable meal by pouring milk over cereal, and then I can wash up by running it under a tap. I’m not missing an opportunity like that.

    That’s called OMAD! Just tell people you’re doing Intermittent Fasting (of which OMAD is a specific way to do it).

      I like to say we’re part of indigo - it’s a color that’s underrated, overshadowed by more “standard” colors, and often misunderstood or misidentified.

      Also, once you get an eye for identifying indigo, you start to spot it more easily. Just as learning more about one’s own autism can lead to one recognizing traits in their family or friends.
