You sound no different to a lot of other people on here. You have a lot in common with us.
This one isn't heard of so often but it's got to do with your senses too. I can't think of the name off the top of my head, this one is always the same. But it's also about being aware of thirst and temperature too.

I'm not going to be of much help in that I can't remember either what it's called, but I definitely remember a discussion with the psychiatrist, my mother and I about the perception of hunger -- or lack thereof.
Now, do take my words with a grain of salt, because that conversation started as we were discussing my Ehlers Danlos syndrom, which is apparently sometimes found along with Asperger's. I'm perpetually hungry. For years I thought it had to do with depression, but it turns out the depression only gave me the impulse to snack. Not feeling full has nothing to do with it, and everything with me not properly getting the signal to stop eating. On the other hand, my mother (whom I got the EDS from, thanks, Ma) is never hungry. She'll eat heartily what's in front of her, or she'll get a headache to remind her she has to eat, but no feeling of hunger.
As for humor, congratulations on mastering that already!
I love sarcasm, but we have a weird relationship: I can do sarcasm very well, but I still have a hard time understanding it when I'm on the receiving end. Other than that, I'm all for dark, dirty or pun-tastic humor, but I'm not at ease with jokes that mock someone at all.
Lastly, your organization vs. disorganization reminds me a bit of my father (whom I got the Asperger's from, aren't we a wonderful diverse family?) and myself.
My desk at work is covered with stacks of papers, notebooks and post-it notes. My bedroom is pretty messy too, except for my clothes, sorted by color like yours (and shade and sleeve type), and my books. People who know my outside persona (i.e. colleagues) often say I'm the most organized person they've met. Meanwhile, I constantly feel like everything is falling apart and I'm a total mess :/ As in, unless I prepare sets of clothes for the entire week, with a 1 day/1 outfit/1 hanger system, I will have
no clue what to wear. I look up the weather forecast, write down what that translates into in terms of clothes, and put that together. Heaven forbid some garment falls from the hanger when I get ready in the morning, or I won't think of putting it on.
I don't know if anything I've written will make sense to you or sound any familiar, but I thought maybe you'd be interested. At any rate, welcome!
