Autism, ADHD, & Eating Disorder Recovery: Building a Life That Fits Your Brain

Eating disorder recovery happens within your daily life. For autistic people and ADHDers, sensory overload, executive functioning challenges, masking, and demanding schedules can make consistent nourishment harder. Building a life that fits your brain means taking those needs seriously and creating support that makes recovery more accessible.

Dr. Marianne shares how neurodivergent-affirming eating disorder recovery can include changes to your routines, relationships, work environment, and expectations of yourself.

Sensory Needs, Executive Functioning, & Regular Eating

Learn how quieter eating spaces, predictable meals, convenient foods, and practical help can reduce barriers to nourishment. Dr. Marianne discusses why reminders alone may fall short when choosing, preparing, and accessing food require more energy than you have available.

For people with autism, ADHD, ARFID, bulimia, or binge eating disorder, individualized support can help make recovery practices more manageable.

Boundaries, Masking, & Neurodivergent Support

Protecting meal breaks, allowing time to rest, and communicating sensory needs can create more room for recovery. Hear how to ask for concrete help, approach unmasking with attention to safety, and discuss the difference between supportive accommodations and restrictive eating disorder rules with your treatment team.
