For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, “Couldn’t be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?”
Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of “hungry” sensations before they get to that point…..
They what
Yeah, I don’t get it either, but apparently this is a Whole Thing…. Like they somehow detect blood sugar dropping and go, “Ooh, time for lil snack!”
See also: there is a feeling of “oh, I need to pee” that happens before “fidgeting around in my seat to finish this thing before running to the bathroom”
I read this and was like, “this can’t be real” and then I looked for sources and like–
“This can be very harmful for neurodivergent people, as many neurodivergent people struggle to feel internal cues and bodily sensations, including hunger and fullness. An emphasis on “only eating when hungry” can result in neurodivergent people delaying eating until they are so hungry that they are shaky, highly irritable, or even on the verge of passing out. A focus on “stopping when full” may cause neurodivergent people to overthink every bite they take and scrutinize whether they are truly hungry or truly full.
To modify Intuitive Eating for neurodivergent people, it may be important to focus on eating enough and eating consistently throughout the day, rather than eating according to one’s hunger and fullness cues. Neurodivergent people may need more of a structured meal and snack schedule than neurotypical folks in recovery, as well as some guidelines around a minimum amount of food. This does not make their eating less intuitive or their recovery less real - it is an important way of honouring their body’s needs and unique ways of functioning.”
WHAT??????
what the fuck
… stomach cramping isn’t the first sign of hunger? Is this why so many people eat more than one meal per day?
A pair of Dutch silver Torah finials, Hoorn, 1756/7 or 1782
A formal Jewish community was only organised in Hoorn in the second half of the 18th century; before that, services were held in the private home of one of the congregants. These finials could have been acquired for that first incarnation of the Hoorn community, or possibly for the new synagogue that was built in 1780 on the Italiaanse Zeedijk.
Of all ethnic groups it looks most like a misspelled Урианхай/Uriankhai — one of the oldest tribes in Mongolia. Nowadays the name is attributed to 4 groups - turkic-speaking, oirat- and khalkha-speaking. Each with lots of clans and different clothing.
