[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 699644, member: 1963"] Yes, autistics do tend to hide food. I used to when I was a small child, which made my mother crazy because we lived in a rather "slummy" neighborhood and roaches were a constant battle. Autistics also don't tend to feel hunger and satiety normally. I know in my case,, that hunger often doesn't register until a: I realize I'm ravenous, or b: I suddenly realize I'm about to keel over from low blood sugar (I'm diabetic) Satiety was an issue when I was a child as I'd just keep eating until someone pulled my plate from under my nose. Luckily, I was a skinny kid. Didnt' get fat until I took Zyprexa several years ago. And now, with the diabetes, I eat little and often. They are saying now that video games are not bad, but obviously, if you are stealing to get games, there's a big problem and you are talking addiction. Also, is he on antipsychotic medications? If he is on atypical antipsychotics, most of them make one ravenous, which could explain what you are seeing as binge eating. Is he overweight? [/QUOTE]
