I had an eating disorder NOS (not otherwise specified), but that doesn’t change my point: they should have been more alert. I’ve often wondered why I had this eating disorder. I think there were multiple factors at play. Sensitivity to stimuli is one of them; there still are plenty of foods I don’t like to eat, because they feel unpleasant. At the same time, my sensitivity to pleasant stimuli meant certain foods helped me get through the day.
