This information sheet has been developed by Eating Disorders Neurodiversity Australia.

This document is intended for neurodivergent people who experience body image issues, feeding difficulties, and/or eating disorders. Neurodivergent individuals are at a high risk of developing eating disorders and
treatments need to be extensively adapted to meet individual support needs. Here, you can find a brief list of neurodivergence-related factors that may contribute to eating disorders, considerations for prevention
and treatment, and resources for self-care and self-advocacy.
