Understanding the Overlap between Neurodivergence and Eating Disorders

Welcome to MindStories Video, an insightful discussion featuring Stacie Fanelli, LCSW, where we explore the fascinating connection between neurodivergence and eating disorders. In this engaging conversation, Stacie sheds light on the unique challenges faced by individuals who fall under both these categories. Cynthia Cunningham, MFT, provides invaluable support and guidance to individuals seeking mental health resources.

What is Neurodivergence?

Neurodivergence refers to the natural variation in neurocognitive functioning present in humans. It includes conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other cognitive differences that impact an individual's sensory, cognitive, and emotional processes. Understanding neurodivergence is crucial in recognizing the diverse ways people experience the world and interact with it.

The Complex Relationship between Neurodivergence and Eating Disorders

Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, are serious mental health conditions that affect millions of individuals worldwide. While they can manifest in anyone, research suggests a significant overlap between neurodivergent individuals and the development of eating disorders.

Identifying Common Challenges

One of the reasons for this overlap is the shared challenges in the areas of sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation, and social interaction. Neurodivergent individuals may have unique sensory experiences, which can contribute to difficulties with food textures, tastes, and other sensory elements related to eating. Emotional regulation issues, often observed in both neurodivergence and eating disorders, further compound the challenges faced by individuals.
