In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Unmasked, Mis-labelled host Stacey unpacks a critical and often overlooked issue: the intersection of autism and bulimia in women. Drawing from lived experience, Stacey challenges the stereotypes surrounding both conditions - asking what happens when someone is autistic but undiagnosed, and struggling with bulimia in a world that doesn't see her. Through raw storytelling and reflective insight, the episode explores how autistic traits like sensory sensitivities, emotion dysregulation and masking can shape the development and experience of bulimia, often leading to misdiagnosis and mistreatment.
