NeurospicED podcast

Organisation / Service

Eating Disorders Neurodiversity Australia

NeurospicED podcast exclusively features neurodivergent people with lived experience of eating disorders across the recovery spectrum. Podcast guests are interviewed by one of EDNA’s board members, all of whom are neurodivergent with lived experience of eating disorders. Topics discussed are varied but focus on the intersection of neurodivergence and eating disorders, including, but not limited to, insights and experiences related to diagnosis, identity, eating disorder treatment, potential areas of improvement, and words of support and advice for struggling neurodivergent people.

National Strategy Standards and Actions

Identification

Standard 1: There is whole-of-community awareness of the signs and symptoms that may indicate a developing or existing eating disorder, and the pathways to care.

Action 1.2: Eating disorder and mental health organisations to continue to provide evidence-based information about eating disorder signs and symptoms and pathways to care, tailored to a range of audiences.

Action 1.4: Eating disorder lived experience organisations to continue to provide evidence-based resources to assist people and their families/supports and communities to identify concerns and pathways to care.

Action 1.5: Organisational/service settings which interact with population groups at higher risk of eating disorders (e.g., LGBTQIA+ services, schools, sporting/performance organisations) to provide evidence-based information about eating disorders appropriate to the audience.
