A fantastic 3-year study conducted by Professor Kate Tchanturia&team who developed the PEACE Pathway (Pathway for Eating Disorders&Autism developed from Clinical Experience).

Outcome of the study:

Autistic&ADHD patients with EDs may present to services with increased clinical complexity&elevated treatment needs, including greater ED psychopathology, psychological distress, and work and social functioning, particularly for those who are both Autistic&ADHD. Clinically, this highlights the importance of early identification&person-centred care. It also suggests that adaptations targeting Autistic&ADHD needs, such as sensory regulation, executive functioning support,&tailored psychological interventions are needed to improve engagement&treatment outcomes.

At NEDRC, for over 18 months, as standard, we carry out screeners with our clients for ADHD&ASD. From working in the area of eating disorders, we know the overlap of EDs&neurodivergency, also miss identified diagnoses people can receive leaving the individual feeling that they are "failing" rather than receiving appropriate services.

Not only do we provide service for neurodivergent people, but several of our team members are neurodivergent which has created a much more collaborative way of working & understanding.

If you would like to contribute to helping Gill and her family access potentially life maintaining treatment whether be by spreading awareness or donating to their fundraiser, the family would be eternally grateful 💜

You wouldn't be alone if the idea of being vulnerable is uncomfortable.
However, vulnerability is important in satisfying our human need to build connections and maintain close relationships.

Emotional vulnerability is about letting yourself be seen and known for who you truly are, instead of how you might prefer to be perceived.
It means being open and honest about your own feelings, thoughts and needs, and vulnerable to the emotions and reactions of others.

How can vulnerability improve mental health?
Bottling up thoughts&feelings can be associated with higher levels of physical&mental health difficulties. Being vulnerable can have a really positive impact on mental health because when we open up we can find a sense of relief and release.

It can also help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health struggles and encourage others to seek help, providing a sense of community, understanding, hope and support for those who are going through some difficulties.

Why is it sometimes hard to be vulnerable?
Being emotionally vulnerable can feel scary for some people. It means opening up to others and sharing personal thoughts,feelings&experiences that may be painful to expose. It can also put you in a position where you feel you can get hurt.

There are barriers that can make it difficult to be vulnerable. Some of the most common include:
*Not feeling "sick enough"
*Fear of rejection
*Fear of judgement
*Lack of trust
*Past trauma
*A belief that vulnerability is a sign of weakness
*Societal pressure to live up to a certain image or to be self-sufficient.

How do I know when it’s the right time to be vulnerable?
It’s important to trust your instincts when you decide when to share personal things with others. It's generally best to be vulnerable with someone you trust – someone who’s shown they can be supportive and understanding.
It's also important to consider the context and the level of vulnerability you’re comfortable with. Know your boundaries and think about the environment you’re in.

At NEDRC,you will be met with compassion, empathy and non-judgement. We want to help you live the life you are capable of

Letter To My 13 Year Old Self by Laufey (2023).
"Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair
Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere
Voices echo in the gym
Another girl's had her first kiss
Please don't think too much of it, darling
I'm so sorry that they pick you last
Try to say your foreign name and laugh
I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd
Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare
But, baby, know that
You'll grow up
And grow so tough and charm them
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful
Keep on going with your silly dream
Life is prettier than it may seem
One day, you'll be up on stage
Little girls will scream your name
The days of tears and failure fears
And no one cares
Will all make sense, 'cause
You'll grow up
And grow so confident, and
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful".

Why am I always thinking about food?

Why do some people with an eating disorder become fascinated or "obsessed" with food?
E.g. "for you" pages full of food videos, cooking or baking things but not eating it themselves, hoarding/ stockpiling foods.

Food scarcity/ food insecurity......
biologically our body is primed to eat, to want, need food. Particularly foods we like.

Depriving ourselves of food or of the foods we actually want to eat, can create this cycle. Not having or allowing ourselves access to consistent, regular, nutritious foods can lead to cognitive, emotional and behavioural changes in our brain. Becoming aware of food as an unstable/ inconsistent resource can increase anxiety when eating and around food in general.

This is not something to feel guilty or shameful about, your body is doing it's job. Your body is telling you to eat, regularly, a wide range of foods because that's what your body needs.
