Eating disorders are emotionally challenging. If you are also neurodivergent, things can feel even more complicated. What You Need To Know is a neurodiversity-informed guide developed by the PEACE Pathway to support individuals navigating these challenges with greater self-understanding, confidence, and compassion.
The guide brings together lived experience, clinical knowledge, and research to help individuals make sense of how neurodivergence can shape their eating difficulties, emotional regulation, sensory experiences, and everyday routines. The resource also highlights the importance of recognising neurodivergent needs regardless of formal diagnosis and provides signposts to further support.
