Recovering Again: Navigating Eating Disorders After a Late Neurodivergent Diagnosis (Part 2) With Stacie Fanelli, LCSW @edadhd_therapist
What happens when your recovery journey needs a reboot—not because you relapsed, but because you learned something life-changing about your brain?
In this second part of my deep conversation with Stacie Fanelli, LCSW, we explore what eating disorder recovery looks like after a late diagnosis of autism and/or ADHD (AuDHD). We talk about the grief, relief, and radical reframing that can come when you realize your past recovery strategies weren’t failures—they just weren’t made for your neurotype.
Together, we unpack the nuances of recovery that often get overlooked:
🧠 How sensory needs, executive functioning, and rejection sensitivity complicate “standard” approaches
🔥 Why anger and blame can be necessary—and even healing—steps in post-diagnosis recovery
🔄 What it really means to recover again, when old recovery tools no longer fit
🥄 And how to create sustainable support plans that work with your brain, not against it
Whether you’re a therapist, neurodivergent human, or somewhere in between, this episode will leave you feeling seen, affirmed, and empowered to define recovery on your own terms.
