Why Autism and Anorexia?

At first glance, anorexia nervosa (a severe, restrictive eating disorder) and autism (a neurodevelopmental condition) may seem worlds apart from each other. But this is far from the truth. Through our ongoing research, we're hoping to understand more about their relationship to one another and what we can do to help autistic women with anorexia. 

Our research is funded by Autistica, who are keen to support cutting edge research with the aim to improve the lives of autistic people. You can read more about why we are doing this research on their website: https://www.autistica.org.uk/our-research/research-projects/treating-anorexia-in-autistic-women

We will be posting updates and any findings from our research on here in the upcoming months. In the meantime, find us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/sedaf18 for more regular updates and retweets! Help us spread the word with #SEDAF
