Disordered Eating Patterns linked to Neurodiversity
This session explores the complex relationship between neurodiversity and disordered eating, providing insight into the underlying factors and practical strategies for support.
Description
Neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism and ADHD, are at a higher risk of developing disordered eating patterns. Sensory sensitivities, executive functioning challenges, and difficulties with interoception can all contribute to restrictive eating, binge eating, and other atypical food-related behaviours.
