I'm awaiting assessment, but there's a strong chance I have both autism and ADHD (my brother and father are both autistic, I was never assessed because it wasn't as obvious growing up as a girl that I struggled with similar things, but it's hard to know without an assessment because my ADHD was undiagnosed for so long so there's a lot of overlapping symptoms from all the maladaptive coping mechanisms I've developed)
I know poor hunger signals are a big part of autism too, so maybe I've got a double whammy ๐คทโโ๏ธ
But it also sounds like your sensitive to hunger signals the same way I'm sensitive to fatigue/drowsiness signals, so it sounds like the same underlying interception issue, just two different outcomes of that attempt to listen to our bodies.
