Listen Later

n this week’s episode, Han is joined by @qui_rkythoughts. She has personal experience of anorexia and autism to celebrate #autismacceptanceweek. She works with charities, hosts career fairs, and explores the intersection of eating disorders and autism on her podcast, @qui_rkythoughts.

This week, we discuss:

  • Trish's experience of anorexia and inpatient admissions, and how autism influenced Trish's patterns of behaviour.
  • How to navigate autistic behaviours vs eating disorder behaviours and understand where the behaviours are coming from.
  • Trish's advice for supporting someone who is neurodiverse during an inpatient admission.

To find out more about Trish, you can listen to her podcast Quirky Thoughts where she chats about her experiences, acknowledge her uniqueness and embrace autism or follow her on Instagram @qui_rkythoughts.

Kindly note, that this episode delves into sensitive eating disorder topics, including BMI metrics. Remember to take care of yourself while listening, and always seek professional help if needed. This podcast is your bridge to insightful discussions, not a substitute for clinical guidance.
