Autistic women struggle with high levels of both autistic eating behaviours and disordered eating behaviours, which might make them particularly vulnerable to develop eating disorders. Research investigating the presence and characteristics of eating disorders in autistic women is however limited, as is research examining the role of autism in the treatment and recovery of an eating disorder in autistic women.
