What’s missing from the current medical model of autoimmune diseases?
The bigger picture.
Specifically, the intersection between autoimmune diseases, disordered eating, and neurodivergence.
Examples include:
⚠️ Psoriasis, ADHD, and skipping meals
⚠️ Type 1 diabetes, binge eating, and underdosing insulin
⚠️ IBD, autism, and ARFID
⚠️ Lupus, anorexia, and OCD
⚠️ Rheumatoid arthritis and orthorexia
⚠️ Multiple sclerosis and OCD
⚠️ Bulimia, ADHD, and at risk for Sjögren’s
These connections have been established by many research studies. When they are ignored, the autoimmune community is underserved, misunderstood, and ultimately suffers. It's past time for improvement.
