ASD and ADHD here!

I didn’t know until last year, but unfortunately that’s super common for women in their 40s.

Kinky sexy things and nonmonogomy have always been a thing for me tho. Sex and kink have definitely been a special interest since I was a teen.

And the novelty of different kinks and partners also satisfies many aspects of my adhd.

One of the things I find difficult about this particular fetish is that I can be SO particular about texture/certain foods. Or just forgetting to eat/have a desire for food. I think it’s part to blame why I’ve been trying to get to 250 since last summer but haven’t been able to gain. 😔

I’m actually more likely to NOT eat and then my stomach shrinks and then it’s a challenge on the occasions that I want to stuff myself because I’m full after one sandwich when I want to eat five.

And obviously finding others that are also into this and being able to click with them can also be a challenge. Peopling is hard!

Yes, with a strong desire to grow fatter. I am gay, but would consider being fattened by a women. Might be very exciting too.

I have dyslexia, I am pretty sure that feederism is connected. Crazy how many have some sort of ADHS or ASD !

Same here. But that only tells you how little people know about autism.

No, that's not why. It used to be super obvious to tell. However, I got a lot better at functioning. The only time I get clocked nowadays is if I get overstimulated in public.

Besides, if you meet one autistic person, you've met one autistic person.

It's me, hi. I'll toss my name into the ring as well.

I am also autistic and ADHD.

I have noticed that nearly everyone I've talked to in any great depth who is a feedist tends to either already know they are autistic and/or ADHD, or suspect they might be. And I'm usually in agreement with those who suspect, given that talking to other people who know they are autistic/ADHD and finding you have symptoms in common is as good an indicator as any*

*This is how I realised, and had to seek out adult diagnosis of both things. The fact that multiple teachers/doctors didn't notice things that are these days considered quite typical signs in children, or the way it seems like some autistic people can sense each other a mile off but get "I never would have known" from others, suggests to me that what is "obviously autistic" is quite subjective.

I do believe there's evidence and a lot of insider agreement from within general kink/fetish spaces that people with non-standard sexualities are more likely to be neurodivergent than not. But it can be difficult to talk about when a great deal of people who are ND, are currently unaware of it.

Add me to the list.
I think most of us can spot each other because like recognizes like.
All the little things that other people miss, but we don't because that spark of the familiar shows through when so much of the world feels unfamiliar.
I suspect half the reason I got good at RP'ing is just from having to work out how to communicate with the normies.

Heh. I got into creative writing trying to figure out the neurotypicals.

Yep. Formally diagnosed too.
