Mixed eating disorders and non binary

NAS84097

I'm 42, born female but identify as non binary(dont feel male or female). I have severe sensory issues with food, an obsession over numbers, a fear of gaining weigh and I restrict my food, over exercise to cope with this. I've tried to find suitable help with it but between autism, being non binary and have complex mix of eating disorders I'm really struggling. I've tried "beat" and have a referral to e.d clinic but the waiting list is about 6 months where I am. 

Anyone any ideas on resources that are more suitable to my situation

    an obsession over numbers

    Hi there 84097

    Along with ASD, I was assessed to have OCD and Arithmomania (compulsive counting), which in my case means that I often feel the need to count, both forwards and backwords and occasionally in other languages.  As a child I would count things like cars or lamposts. 

    I count a great deal when I am stressed.

    About two years ago there were two or three threads on this forum in which I participated. A few other members also came-out as counters.

    Does this fit with your obsession with numbers, or are you more into mathematics?
