I forgot to eat again

When hunger cues, time, or food decisions disappear until you crash.

What this can feel like

You suddenly feel shaky, angry, tired, or blank and realize food has not happened for hours.

Why this may happen

ADHD can blur time and interrupt hunger signals. Autism can make food texture, choice, and routine changes harder. Stress and meds can also change appetite.

Try this right now

Eat one bite of the easiest safe food nearby.
