What is PEACE?

PEACE is a Pathway for Eating disorders and Autism developed from Clinical Experience. Our research suggests that around 35% of people experiencing an eating disorder may be autistic, or present with high levels of autistic traits. We hope this pathway will support autistic people suffering with an eating disorder, their loved ones and their clinicians.

Autism-Informed Eating Disorder Recovery: Insights from Lived Experience

This lived experience piece explores how receiving an autism diagnosis shaped two individuals’ journeys through eating disorder recovery. They reflect on the challenges they faced in treatment before understanding their neurodivergence, how the diagnosis reframed their experiences, and how recovery strategies became more effective when adapted to their sensory and cognitive needs. Their stories highlight the importance of autism-informed approaches in eating disorder care.
