If I like something, I stuff it down before anyone else eating.

I always finish before everyone else, but mostly because I'm not talking.

"Eating to fast" that's a contradiction in terms!

I have the opposite problem, people quite often leave the table before I'm finished because I'm so slow...

I do not think I eat *too* quickly, yet I do eat faster than most folks. I gained weight in Navy boot camp because I was the last one in and our commander had told everyone else they had to be out of the mess hall before me ... so people gave me food to keep me at the table while they were finishing.

no matter what, I am usually the first one done, unless i am eating out with friends or I am sick.

I beleive my fast eating it a habit from my school days where the lunch periods were like 20 minutes long, but you spent like 15 minutes of that time in the f*****g line waiting to get your food.

Eating fast is a human instinct. Think back in human evolution- if you found a supply of really good food (meat for example) then it was in your best interests to eat it as fast as possible. Before other people or other animals tried to take their share. Far better and nutritious than the various items humans would have subsisted on usually. "NTs" suppress this instinct with cultural food habits (eat with a knife and fork, don't make noise while eating, chew properly, etc). Of course that depends on the culture. Also most people would eat fast when

I guess then that most Aspie's just don't care for those silly food habits, I don't. I would only make an effort to eat "polite" like at certain polite occasions. Of course if you are too busy thinking or have bad food sensory issues then perhaps you could eat slow.

But yeah I eat fast- see food and eat it

Me. I eat fast all the time... it gives me the burpies

I'm also a fast eater. I've got to eat fast, so I can get back on the Internet.

I eat very fast. I get very very annoyed when people tell me to slow down. I've found out people eat slow because they want to enjoy their food and the taste. Me, I can still taste it and enjoy it when I eat fast. Must be a sensory issue for them.

i can not see why anybody would eat to fast.
"fasting" is not achieved by eating.

I've trained myself not to.
