Nausea signal means your blood sugar is low. At least... that's what it means for me. First time it happened, I was out all day playing paintball. Around 4 we stopped to go home and I was feeling nauseous as hell, went to a payphone to call my mom and have her come get me, throwing up mid-phone call. She thought I was just faking and told me to walk. But I felt so tired. I sat down and fell asleep for a little bit. Got up and started going home. Kept throwing up, and passing out. My best friend ran into me while skateboarding over to my house and I told him how I felt so he mashed off to my house to get my mom to take me seriously, but before they got back I guess someone called 911 and an ambulance showed up and checked me out. Had a blood sugar level of like 20 or something ridiculous on the meter and they gave me some juice and told me to get home and eat. Now any time I feel hunger pangs at all, I eat something.

Many people with ADHD simply don't feel hunger as much as neurotypical people so we get nausea because of hunger when we happen to not eat for too long by accident.

I am one of them lol

I have ADHD and never think about food if I am hyper focused on something else. Then I'll gain focus again and be starving.

Any idea where can I find more info on this specifically?

No idea, I learned a lot of things simply by reading experiences of people on r/ADHD and now c/ADHD. Check the wiki, maybe there's something on the topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/wiki/index/
