Discover valuable insights and resources that shed light on neurodivergence and eating disorders.
Our board members Laurence Cobbaert and Elysia Thomas have collaborated with Anna Rose Millichamp, Rosiel Elwyn, Scout Silverstein, Kai Schweizer, and Jane Miskovic-Wheatley to write a paper about neurodivergence, intersectionality, and eating disorders from the perspective of lived experience.
This article provides some insights about neurodivergent people's experiences of eating disorder treatment and some of the unique vulnerabilities that make them at a high risk of developing eating disorders.
This report was commissioned by the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC) and authored by Laurence and Anna. It provides a detailed account of how neurodivergence influences eating, body image, and health more broadly.
This document provides key elements, tools, and resources for neurodivergent people to effectively self-advocate with regards to their eating and feeding needs and preferences in everyday life as well as throughout eating disorder treatment.
Laurence, Ruth, and Maud have created 8 information sheets. Each information sheet has been tailored to include insights and tips for a specific group of people. Some focus on self-advocacy (e.g., neurodivergent people and carers) whereas others zoom in on health-related considerations (e.g., general practitioners).
This resource provides a list of books about neurodivergence, neurodiversity, sensory processing, mental health, and wellbeing.
This is an overview of the overlap between neurodivergence and eating disorders.
This includes prevalence rates and statistics.
Links to community-based resources as well as academic references are provided for context and evidence.
This resource provides the links to each Australian state's guidelines for the hospital admission and inpatient management of people with eating disorders.
This info sheet was collaboratively produced with the Butterfly Foundation for Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week (September 2022).
The focus is on the influence of interoceptive awareness on body image and eating.
