Curious if other Aspies/people on the spectrum did this.

I fill up sports bottles and such with water (I have 3) and drink all in one day. I don't drink normally I "suck" on them my mom/dad say like "a baby bottle" So I was curious does this sound familiar to anyone? Also I can drink down one of the bottles within 5 minutes and I love the sucking for some odd reason.

I do that all the time. I drink countless amounts of water to self soothe. Hey, at least it's not achohol. I rememer being thiristy all the time as a child and I was always getting in trouble at school for taking too long at the drinking fountains or for drinking out of my water bottle the wrong way. My mom took me to the doctor to be tested for diabetes at least umteen times and they always came back negetive. I once came across an article on her about how autistic people need more water than most people because of the stimming and stress. I'll see if I can dig it up.

I can relate on the drinking a single bottle in no time. I can drink one in one sitting. Whenever my neice sees me drinking something she'll chant, "Chug it! Chug it!" and I ablige. She's never unimpressed. Her father (my brother) says I would win a beer chugging contest hands down. But I don't know. I discovered in third grade I can sallow with my mouth open. I can never feel "unthiristy" and panic if I don't have easy acess to water. I cannot sallow if it is above a certian temperature. I keep a container in the refrigerator all time time to keep it ice cold.

Cool. I like mine cold aswell (refrigerator for me too) Glad I'm not the only one. My sister found a neat article on Asperger's and it related to a medical condition I have (not sure what the article or condition was though) but that's how I heard from her thinking I might have AS. (Although being the analytical type I heard the term Asperger's on a game site and googled it LOL!)

Strange I also drink water very fast. I drink a glass full of water in absolutely no time although if I am with other people I try to be polite. I once drank a can of beer in one shot when we were celebrating the day we (me and my pals) were homologated for this job... LOL.
I used a sports bottle when I went to the gym and would drink a lot of water ahhh.... especially after my coach added this 30 mim running at the end of the training. Those were good days....

I did this and still do. Is this not a normal thing? I thought everyone did it and when I would see people take a sip, I figured they were just getting their throats wet, not the fact they were thirsty. If someone is really thirsty, how do they drink from the bottle?

When I drink my liquids fast, my mother would comment I was very thirsty. Even my husband has said the same thing.

I also keep my water bottle in the fridge. I like it cold. I fill it up when it gets empty and I put it in the fridge.

Ever since I discovered a cherry limeade flavored powdered drink mix, I drink it constantly (after mixing it with water, of course!) I am completely addicted to it. I always keep a glass with me around the house, especially when I'm on the computer. I'm not sure exactly how many glasses I drink a day, but it's enough to cause me to use at least 1 or 2 rolls of toilet paper per day.

I do this at least once a day, with diet sodas.

I drink a lot of water at home, and I drink a lot of water with my meals. However, I have heard bad things about doing that.
