Pooky has a long history of anorexia and felt like she was constantly walking through the revolving doors of illness and recovery. When hospitalised for anorexia in 2017, she was diagnosed with autism. This led to a radical revision of her treatment, and she finally found herself able to understand and take a grip on the illness that had controlled her for so long. In this talk, Pooky will share some of the lessons learned along the way and provide some ideas for how we might tailor our support for eating disorder patients on the autistic spectrum.
