April is Autism Acceptance Month and at The Healing Connection, this is a time to reflect on how we celebrate diversity, understanding, and inclusion not only this month, but all year long.
Some studies estimate that around 20–30% of adults with eating disorders also have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Although each individual's experience is different, overlapping traits that could indicate a link between ASD and eating disorders include rigid thought processes or routines, sensory processing issues, and challenges with emotional regulation.
At The Healing Connection, we strive for our services to be accepting, inclusive, and supportive for all!
