                • Episode 24: The New Maudsley Carer Skills Podcast, with Harriet Parsons and Jenny Langley. Autism and Eating Disorders.

                  Autism and Eating Disorders – thinking about how the New Maudsley Carer Skills can help.

                  More and more we are hearing from families who have a loved one with an eating disorder and a diagnosis of autism. When supporting an autistic person with an eating disorder we have to take account of this added layer of difficulty often due to the three areas where both cross over – high levels of anxiety, rigidity and emotional dysregulation.

                  In this episode, Jenny and Harriet talk through how carers can use the New Maudsley Carer Skills to improve the support they provide.
