Autism and Binge Eating Part 4: Why it's All or Nothing!

Listen Later

Welcome to part 4 of my series on autism and binge eating! In this final episode, we explore some of the key psychological and hormonal factors that contribute to binge eating in neurodivergent individuals. From black and white thinking to decision fatigue and hormonal changes, this episode covers the many reasons why autistic people may struggle with binge eating.

You'll learn:

  • A recap of Parts 1-3, including interoception, extreme hunger, the nervous system, sensory experiences, procrastination, and autistic inertia
  • How black and white thinking can lead to rigid rules around food, contributing to binge eating behaviors
  • The role of analysis paralysis in binge eating, and how too many food choices can overwhelm neurodivergent individuals
  • How the need for food to “make sense” and be aesthetically “right” can influence eating patterns in autistic people
  • Why constraints and boundaries around food are important for autistic individuals, and how they can avoid triggering demand avoidance
  • My personal experiences with food needing to look a certain way, and how this relates to binge eating behaviors
  • The role of PMS and PMDD in contributing to hormonal binge eating in autistic individuals
