Description

Autism and Eating Disorders in Teens: A Guide for Parents and Professionals A practical guide to understanding and addressing the complex relationship between autism and eating disorders. Written by two experienced clinicians, this book provides a comprehensive overview of identification, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as challenging current thinking on how to promote awareness and improve care. Autism and eating disorders often present with similar symptoms, such as restrictive or selective eating behaviours, or rigid thought patterns. This can lead to individuals receiving treatment for one condition without the other being diagnosed. The authors offer practical recommendations for improving policy and practice, drawing on in-depth case studies that highlight the importance of feeling understood and listened to. By empowering young people with autism and eating disorders, this guide aims to help them reach their full emotional and physical potential.
