18. Neurodiversity and Eating Disorders: Uncovering the Hidden Relationship With Lindsay Keating

ADHD Mums

In this episode, Jane interviews Lindsay Keating who is an ADHD Mum who has battled for over 20 years with Anorexia.

**Trigger warning, this episode discusses Anorexia Nervosa**

Jane and Lindsay tackles common misconceptions about eating disorders, specifically the tendency to minimise them as mere attention-seeking behaviors.

The discussion emphasises that dismissing these signs can be harmful, and instead suggests giving the affected individuals the attention they may need. The conversation underscores the importance of taking such signs seriously, as each person's experience with an eating disorder is unique.
