Autism and Binge Eating Part 3: Procrastination, Transitions, and Autistic Inertia

Nov 11, 2024
07:45

Welcome to part 3 of my series on autism and binge eating! In this episode, we dive deeper into the relationship between procrastination, transitions, and binge eating. Autistic people often struggle with transitions and experience something called autistic inertia, both of which can play significant roles in overeating and binge eating behaviors.

You'll learn:

  • A recap of Part 1 and Part 2, covering interoception, extreme hunger, and the sensory connection to food
  • How difficulty with transitions can lead to binge eating, especially when hyperfocus delays eating
  • Why compensatory binge eating may occur after prolonged periods of restriction or delayed eating
  • The concept of autistic inertia, and how it contributes to starting or stopping activities, including eating
  • How eating can be used as a transition tool and why it may be hard to stop once you’ve started
  • My personal experiences with binge eating tied to planning food in advance and the flow state of eating
