Eating disorders are complex and disrupt a person's relationship to food and overall functioning. Recovery often involves a multidisciplinary treatment team.
Neurodivergent individuals, by virtue of their identity, face higher risks of eating disorders and poorer treatment outcomes compared to neurotypical individuals due to inadequate incorporation of their unique needs.
Research indicates a correlation between neurodivergence and non-cisgender identities, with neurodivergent individuals more likely to experience gender identities different from their assigned sex at birth.
Current mental health practices are shifting towards supporting diverse identity structures within the neurodivergent community, emphasizing the necessity of dismantling outdated ableist frameworks.
