To deal with the hunger I mostly feed on small rodents, birds, particularly annoying dogs and grapes.
On a serious note, what are you actually asking for here? Can you provide more details about what conversation you are trying to start?
I'm an autistic myself, but I am pretty naive about what it means to have an official diagnosis. More like I had 'Asperger syndrome' before it changed to ASD so technically autism.
I'm also naive about myself in real life and how I handle most situations everywhere I go no matter how many people intervene to address my problems even if I feel hurt.
