They explain the PEACE+ Pathway - adaptations to eating disorder care designed to better support neurodivergent individuals, including communication passports, sensory workshops, and more sensory-friendly clinical environments. The series will feature voices from lived experience, clinicians, and researchers involved in this work.

On 20 May 2025, we welcomed over 250 attendees from across the UK and internationally to the fourth PEACE Pathway Conference. The day brought together clinicians, researchers, lived experience experts, and service providers to share knowledge and tools for improving care for autistic individuals with eating disorders.
