Eating disorder recovery can be a challenge for autistic folks due to difficulty with change, sensory aspects of weight gain, and the unpredictability around what will "replace" the eating disorder. In this episode, Livia talks about a recent hardship in her life, bringing it into parallel with her past eating disorder. She reflects on how many of her autistic traits manifested as disordered food and movement, and highlights how understanding the underlying neurodivergent traits creates compassion and kindness for neurodiversity-affirming eating disorder recovery.
