Are you a Clinician?

Welcome to the PEACE Community! We acknowledge that there are currently no treatment guidelines for supporting autistic people with eating disorders. As a result of this, clinicians we have spoken to report lacking in confidence and knowledge. We want to make suggestions and adaptations which can be used in treatment to increase your understanding and your confidence. Find Out More

What is PEACE?

PEACE is a Pathway for Eating disorders and Autism developed from Clinical Experience. Our research suggests that around 35% of people experiencing an eating disorder may may have autism spectrum condition (ASC), or present with high levels of autistic traits. We hope this pathway will support autistic people suffering with an eating disorder, their loved ones and their clinicians.
