Embracing Neurodiversity and Weight-Inclusivity: Creating Supportive & Inclusive Practices
Discover how to support neurodivergent clients with eating challenges by offering care that harmonizes with their neurodivergence!
Supporting neurodivergent individuals requires a specialized skill set. It requires unlearning many ableist beliefs around neuronormative ideals around eating and how to exist in a body. While you might feel confident offering weight-inclusive care to clients who identify as being neurotypical, you might be questioning your approach and modalities used in anti-diet spaces and wondering if and how they apply to neurodivergent people, especially folks with decreased interoceptive awareness, people with feeding and sensory differences and folks with executive functioning differences.
