Autism / ADHD and ED

[ifonlytheydlisten]

I was a long term ED. I now realise I’m ADHD. I’ve had friends with girls with ED later diagnosed with ASD. I’m I right that there is a clear link?

Link with autism yes. Not adhd

There is a diagram somewhere with the co-morbidities of ASD and ADHD and Anorexia are both now on there I believe.

ADHD and bulimia/bingeED

Linked are irrelevant in diagnosis. You should first get a full assessment then claim to have a diagnosis.

I have been diagnosed with anorexia in the past and also am diagnosed with autism. These can be co-morbid conditions. I would thought have that arfid was more common in autistic people than anorexia. Some reports show this to be the case.

There is research on those who experience these two comorbid conditions both autism and anorexia called the peace pathway.

I don’t need a diagnosis. It’s very clear to me. My DD has a diagnosis and meds. Late realisation explains a lot
