Do eating disorders often co-exist with neurodivergence?

Is it more likely, that you’ll have an eating disorder if you’re neurodiverse?

What do we need to understand if we’re caring for someone for whom neurodiversity is a factor?

In this latest eating disorder podcast episode, Debbie and specialist ED therapist Sarah Parker talk about these important issues and consider whether there is indeed a greater prevalence of eating disorder behaviours and diagnosis, where someone is also neurodivergent.

We look at what different approaches might be required.

Where are the similarities in two very different diagnoses?

How do we improve our approach to compassionate care and understanding in recovery, while being knowledgeable about eating disorders and the way in which they’re impacted by neurodivergence?
