Where my glucose is lowering too fast and I'm desperate for food suddenly.</p><p>Another problem I've had all my life which might be tied to <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Hyperglycemia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hyperglycemia</span></a> and <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Hypoglycemia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hypoglycemia</span></a>. Not sure yet. Awaiting endocrinologist appointment in January.</p><p>But all my life, people (including my Dad) pestered me and criticized me for eating fast. I wanted to eat slower, but could not. I now realize it's an issue with glucose. I literally am starting and my body is trying to remedy the situation and I'm rushing because I feel so bad.</p><p>So if you ever see a child eating fast, ask yourself whether perhaps that child has glucose issues rather than criticize. If you see a friend eating very fast if you go out with them, it's not ok to comment on it. Not unless you do it with tact and somehow indicate to them they might might to look into their glucose with a specialist.</p><p>Both those things got my mind going and so much. I'm not calmer and can resume my questionnaire. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ThankYouForListening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThankYouForListening</span></a>. Talking this through with you my friends was therapeutic.</p><p>Yes I did decide to do my autism assessment (and other assessments at the same time.) And I'm terrified that I will “fail.”</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PreDiabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PreDiabetes</span></a></p>
