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.

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.

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.

For neurodivergent people, 'making peace with food' is not a realistic goal.
When sensory aversions make eating certain foods uncomfortable and even painful, expecting ND people to find satisfaction and comfort in all foods is an unfair expectation that ignores their core needs.
Intuitive eating is not neuro-affirming, and it is time we acknowledge it.

The first flaw of the intuitive eating model?
Assuming that everyone can recognise hunger and fullness cues.
For neurodivergent people with a decreased sensitivity to interoception, being told to ‘listen to your body’ is not helpful advice; it is dangerous.
Hunger cues may be diminished, but bodies needs regular nourishment; and by following intuitive eating, that is not possible.

Today we recognise everyone with a physical disability, and invite everyone to reflect on how they can promote inclusion in their own community.
Living with a physical disability isn’t easy. But by raising awareness, we can help build an accessible and equal world, one that caters to all bodies, and all capacities.

Intuitive eating may seem like a harmless model, and for neurotypical people, that might be true.

However, the truth is that this structure of eating was built without neurodivergent people in mind.

For the next four weeks, we are going to dive into the flaws of intuitive eating, exploring the specifics as to why neurodivergent people have been failed by the system.

If you have ever felt let down by the intuitive eating model, this is for you.

Let’s be clear.
Eating disorders are not ‘feminine’.
Eating disorders are not ‘trivial’.
Eating disorders are serious psychological conditions that can impact anyone, regardless of their gender.
It’s time we stopped pretending EDs are gender exclusive. Because if we do, we are risking the lives of thousands of men across the world.

It is no surprise that less men are diagnosed with eating disorders than women; the diagnostic criteria was built to ignore male symptoms.
Eating disorders do not discriminate, so neither should the diagnostic criteria.
