Anorexia and Autism

Post Reply New Topic

Interesting, when I was anorexic, it didn´t "work" externally: all my bodily functions basically stopped, and I retained water so I appeared heavier than I actually was- (though I weighed 90 some pounds, so I wasn´t exactly fat). When I finally started to eat again, I lost the water, gained muscle and weighed more on the scale but actually looked thinner! Odd...there are times when I think my body acts contrary like this. It´s like I really am a different species.

My bout with anorexia was mostly due to my special interest- (ballet). All dancers are dedicated I guess, but I was extreme.
