Neurodiversity Celebration Week is drawing to a close. We had planned to post this at the start of the week, and life had other ideas.
One week a year is both meaningful and nowhere near enough.
Neurodivergent people exist, contribute, and navigate a world that was largely not built for them, every single day. That deserves more than a week. It deserves systemic change, genuine inclusion, and communities that do not require neurodivergent people to mask, shrink, or justify their existence to be welcome.
Thank you for being part of this community. We are glad you are here. 🧡

"ADHD can impact executive functioning skills like
• Sarting tasks
• Planning and sequencing
• Sustaining attention
• Switching between activities
These skills are often needed for eating; think noticing hunger, preparing food, remembering meals, and transitioning into eating.
That is where movement comes in. Movement can increase dopamine levels, alertness and cognitive flexibility, making it easier to notice hunger, start meals and stay engaged long enough to eat.
This isn’t about prescribing exercise. It is about understanding what supports brain accessibility."

"In the world we live in, conversations about movement usually focus on fitness, weight, or productivity.

For neurodivergent people, movement can play a very different role.

It can help regulate the nervous system, support sensory processing, improve attention, and build body awareness. These factors all influence how safe, accessible, and manageable eating can feel.

This week, we are exploring how different forms of movement can support eating and nourishment in neurodivergent bodies, leaving diet culture narratives out of the conversation.

💬 How does movement influence your sense of regulation or connection with food?

Save this post to return to when reflecting on the role of movement in nourishment 🧡"

This month, we hope we have contributed something meaningful to the conversations around intuitive eating and neurodivergence.
As neuro-affirming dietitians, we think it is important to debunk the myths; intuitive eating is not as perfect as it is presented. It does not meet and accommodate for neurodivergent differences, and so if it has let you down, that is not your fault.
Instead, let’s prioritise accomodation and support, rather than guilt and shame.

If eating is causing more stress, using more energy, or taking up more mental space than it should, that matters.
This week is a reminder that you do not need to be at breaking point to reach out.

Eating Disorder Awareness Week starts today.
Eating disorders do not always “look” the way people expect.
They are often missed, minimised, or dismissed, especially when someone does not fit the stereotype.
Awareness matters because delayed recognition delays support.
If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out is an important first step.

21/02/2026

There is no single “right” way to eat. Neurodivergent people experience hunger, fullness, taste, texture, and body signals in different ways to neurotypical people; but that is okay.
Respecting your body starts with accepting how it functions.

19/02/2026

Intuitive eating is not made for neurodivergent brains.
But meeting and supporting unique needs can still be intuitive; just not in the way intuitive eating might make it out to be.

Everyone's relationship with food is different.
For many neurodivergent people, food can bring anxiety and trauma. Sensory sensitivities turn meals into triggers; choking fears and past bad experiences create restriction.

Eating for ND people is not just about meeting nutritional needs or learning to enjoy food more.
Instead, it is about finding sensory regulation and safe foods; and this must be respected.

14/02/2026

Finding the 'satisfaction factor' is a big part of intuitive eating. But what happens when food enjoyment is impossible? Sensory aversions, food-related trauma, and even a lack of interest in food can all come together to make eating an uncomfortable and even distressing experience. Intuitive eating does not take this into account; instead, it creates unmanageable expectations that make eating even harder.
