asperger's and anorexia nervosa

Lydia

Does anyone have any experience of anorexia and asperger's? I have recently been diagnosed as aspergic and have had anorexia since the age of thirteen (am now twenty). I am trying to work out how the two interlink so that I can hopefully finally leave anorexia behind. Thanks x

  • Hello,

    I was hospitalised for anorexia earlier this year (I have had an eating disorder since I was 16 - I am 24 now). It is only in the last few months that I have realised I am autistic. Coming to that realisation was a big help in trying to recover as it means I am trying to be more accepting of myself and the things that I find myself doing (for example, not eating was a really good way of making myself so weak I could not stim in public).

    I don't really have any good advice, I'm afraid. I'm still struggling to get through every day.
