Yes. I even have a gastric band to stop me eating so fast - didn't work, though.

I’m not quite like that. If you try to talk to me while I’m eating, I can stop eating and reply. But if I’m eating alone, let’s say, I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing other than just eating that seems to take up so much time with NTs.

Aren’t those designed to make you eat less amounts, not eat less quickly?

I'e always been told I need to slow down when I eat. I LIKE to drink fast. It's kinda like it's own stim and it makes me really angry when people tell me to slow down. My brother and neice say I should enter a beer chugging contest because I would probably win.

I was told that I ate too fast in the past. I've been working down on slowing down my eating.

I just eat normally. I don't see why it's some sort of rule that NTs eat too slow and Aspies eat too fast.

I eat slow and carefully. You taste the food more.

I eat too fast. People tell me things like Oh, you must be really hungry or Nobody's gonna take you food or Have you been in jail recently? I don't feel pleasure of eating. I just know I have to eat the food, so I do it. Proceed, complete, next task please.

Yea, I eat pretty fast I guess. Generally I'm pretty hungry when I eat tho and not around other people so I don't see it that weird. Why would you want to eat slow?

I'm famous among my friends for eating really slowly. Apparently I eat everything slowly except ice cream. I'm always the last to finish. Although, if I really enjoy what I'm eating, I do speed up a bit.

I'm the same. I eat sweets quite fast. Otherwise I am a very slow eater.

I eat fast. So fast sometimes that I barely taste my food.

I eat very slowly unless I'm in a hurry or the food isn't good. I just enjoy the experience of eating. Which could explain why I'm 80lbs overweight but that's best discussed in another thread.

I eat really quickly. It's fine since I feel full when I'm actually full. I don't have a 20 minute lag. But then again, I like to do most tasks as quickly as possible. I just like to get things over with and deal with things I have more interest in. I do, however, drink beverages slowly. I like swishing the liquid around in my mouth to taste it fully.

I eat slowly. I'm always the last person to be done with their meal even though I eat less than all my friends. My best friend will inhale 3 cheeseburgers & an order of fries & I'll still be finishing my ONE burger by the time he's done. I dunno why, I don't mean to be so slow, that's just how I've always been.

I eat pretty slow. Actually because I eat so slow, sometimes people comment that I eat like I have gastric bypass surgery. But it's just naturally. I feel full faster, but eat more for it, but also eat slower because of it.
