local_shippingShip to Me
Overview
Autistic and ADHD traits like sensory sensitivities, monotropism, demand avoidance, and impulsivity shape eating patterns in ways that are often misunderstood or pathologized.?Eating Disorder Recovery for ADHD and Autistic Minds?offers a neurodivergent-affirming, social justice-informed approach to healing for all bodies--an approach that moves beyond willpower and one-size-fits-all treatment.
Rather than framing autistic and ADHD traits as obstacles, this book reframes them as essential data. Readers are guided to differentiate their natural eating style from eating disorder rules and social masking; untangle shame around inconsistent eating; and build individualized systems that honor predictability and stimulation without reinforcing restriction. They are supported by practical strategies, reflection exercises, and nuanced discussions of topics like disgust, executive functioning, and navigating oppression. Ultimately, this book helps autistic and ADHD adults create sustainable, self-trusting relationships with food and movement on their own terms.
