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

  • hi Emma and Lucy, I only just saw your comment Emma - so sorry.

    Emma, well done, you should be really proud.

    Lucy, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. Anorexia often exacerbates Autistic traits and it sounds like maybe the two are contributing to each other at the moment.

    I don't really have any helpful advice to offer but please keep going - you are not alone. 3 years might seem a long time, but in terms of anorexia it really isn't and it is very likely that your daughter will recover. It sounds like you are very loving and supportive, and this is the most important thing for anybody ill or unhappy.
