Yes

This Information Sheet was developed by Eating Disorders Neurodiversity Australia (EDNA).

Neurodivergent patients often have various specific support needs and require accommodations. This document is intended for all health and allied health professionals and provides some key considerations
aimed at helping to create an accessible therapeutic experience for neurodivergent individuals, from booking to appointment. However, it is not an exhaustive list of all the possible points to consider. Therefore,
it remains important to ask neurodivergent people about their specific support needs.
