This presentation will discuss various considerations that can affect the nutrition of neurodivergent individuals dealing with eating disorders. These individuals may have unique challenges that can impact their ability to receive effective treatment, and it is important to identify and understand these barriers to provide appropriate support. Additionally, this discussion will cover various nutrition interventions that can be implemented to help neurodivergent patients in their eating disorder recovery process. These interventions will be tailored to address the specific needs and challenges of each patient, with the goal of supporting their overall health and well-being.
