A family member has Asperger's syndrome and generally when he was younger going without food would result in difficult behaviour and we would have to guess that he had not eaten for a while. This effect has tended to lessen with age.

I have a very unhealthy eating habit.I wake at 12ish and drink coffee and suck on cough drops the whole time I am awake.I eat one meal a day,usually some chinese or soup,salad and sandwhich between 6-8pm(then fall asleep for several hours) and then maybe some beef jerky,high fiber bar and something sweet a 4 hours later.Sometimes I remember to take a vitamen.It's no wonder I feel tired all the time.I have lived healthier before but have been doing this for the past few years and it's become a hard habit to break.

I find that skipping lunch helps keep me awake and avoid the afternoon crash that I usually experience if I had eaten it.

However my parents insist I have 3 meals a day, so it's only on occasions when they're away in which I can skip 1 meal.

Very interesting.
Many times I felt dizzy when I ingest too much calories (particularly when I eat past and meat), and feel better when I'm in a diet on calorie restriction. I mean dizzy\better "sensory", the same way you told.
Definitely I need to think about it again and try to change my habits. I think I could fast twice a month, and avoid meals too fat.
Not easy, but I have found that some things that may help me feel better are not easy but worth it.
