I've been wondering lately how Autism and addictive behaviors interact. For me, with food, I'm really connected to texture and taste- and that mixes in with emotional eating, seeking immediate stress relief. It's difficult to disentangle whether I'm: - Hungry - Stressed - Or limited by sensitivity

I was told I had an eating disorder at 16. I didn't. What I now know is that I had an autistic brain, which had developed an unhealthy, spiralling SPIN around calories and exercise... Which is also why, when the physical harm was pointed out, I was able to amend, reduce, stop.

self medication can lead to addiction and many undiagnosed autistic people develop mental health problems as a result of masking, which they then self medicate.
