Yup. Also mistaking hunger for nausea, and vice versa.
Often times I just eat a whole bunch when I'm so hungry I can't ignore it anymore. Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I've eaten for about... mmm... twenty hours now? Not since yesterday anyhow, and it's like 8 p.m. now... yeah, I need to go eat...
See, this is why I'm fat; my metabolism doesn't know where to jump.
I thought it was the reason I was so skinny
I've been so hungry I'd almost throw up as a teen, so your nausea thing could be starvation (or is it only a symptom of hunger for aspies? we can't be that different can we...)
Oh boy. When I was a teen, I'd go without food for so long that alongside the nausea came extremely painful headaches. Many people
still tell me I need to eat more, that I'm too skinny. Nausea and headaches are the body's way of telling you you have low blood sugar (assuming you haven't eaten for, like, 20 hours). The nausea isn't limited to being an aspie, either - it can happen to anyone who doesn't eat regularly (especially for those whom anorexia is an issue).
