Whether you are an undergrad or post-doc we want to say: welcome and thank you! There is a lack of literature on autistic people with eating disorders and any research you are doing is contributing to such an important field. We know that this group do not respond as well to standard eating disorder treatment so we have to understand why that is and how we can improve service provision. Although this website is mainly aimed at those with the comorbidity, their loved ones and their clinicians, we hope you will find it useful too. We will be posting our research papers as well as psychoeducation around the comorbidity.
Having implemented the PEACE pathway across South London and Maudsley’s Eating Disorder services, we have developed a successful strategy to support those in need. These strategies have been evaluated and prove much more successful than ‘Treatment As Usual’ for this patient group.
We’ve gathered together everything you might need to further your research.
Have a read of our latest blog posts! Whether you want to read about someone’s experiences, learn more about the comorbidity or explore nutritional recommendations, we hope you will find something that meets your needs!
This episode offers valuable reflections for clinicians, researchers, carers, and individuals with lived experience, emphasising the importance of neurodiversity-informed, person-centred care
The short website guide video is now available. he video offers a clear, step-by-step overview of how to navigate the PEACE website and explains how its design supports accessibility for different users.
In the first episode of Co-Produced, Adia and Lauren are joined by Dimitri Chubinidze to explore how inpatient eating disorder treatment is lived, felt, and made meaningful through the senses. Drawing on a year-long sensory ethnography of an adult inpatient ward, the conversation reflects on neurodivergent-affirming, co-produced research that centres lived experience. The featured study, shortlisted for the NIHR Maudsley BRC Culture, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (CEDI) Impact Award, highlights how listening attentively to bodies, senses, and experience can help shape more humane and inclusive care.
