Welcome to PEACE!
As a PEACE team, our aim is to help you feel seen and heard as an autistic individual and for your eating disorder treatment to be inclusive.
If you are looking at this page, you may:
- Be autistic or possibly autistic.
- Have experienced an eating difficulty.
- Or just want to learn more!
This page has some information about autism, eating difficulties and the overlap between the two. It also explains some of the difficulties that autistic individuals with an eating disorder may experience.
A message from Fiona: hold on to hope
Other young people have shared their stories. You may identify with aspects of what they are saying, and not relate to others- this is okay! Everybody is unique and has different experiences, all of which are valid.
We know from other young people that asking for help can be difficult. There is some information on asking for help: both for eating difficulties and getting your autistic needs met.
