OK, in the vein of "weird things I wouldn't normally ask"...
There's been discussion about those of us who don't get accurate signals from our bodies. Does anyone else suppress the need to urinate? If I get the urge to go, but I'm in the middle of something, I just turn it off. Later it'll come back, sometimes critically, but for that time I just no longer feel it. Is this a weird thing that only I do?

That's actually a question in the monotropism questionaire.

I will forget to eat, drink, go to the toilett and so on, when I am focussed. I think at one point the lack of needs becomes so problematic that breaking the focus is less unsatisfying compared to get a glass of water or go to the toilett.
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic not just you.
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic I know I can't just shut it off, but I have bladder & kidney issues from birth. So when I got to go it's ALWAYS an emergency thing & if I ignore it I end up in severe pain & have trouble walking.
