Over eating
How do you explain to your 7 year old daughter that her autism makes her feel like she’s hungry but she’s not. She always says she’s hungry even after she had a full meal.

My son has the same it’s a sensory issues. With my son I explained if “your still hungry later then I’ll give you food later, we need to let your food go down” or you can do routine chart of when she is going to have every meal and snack with the time of when and when she asks maybe put the timer on see if that helps ?

Hey mama ! This is called “interoception“ and if you’re working with an OT I would ask them! It may be affecting other areas of sensory development as well.
