This CPD webinar for healthcare professionals will explore the nuanced intersections between Autism, Anorexia and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID); three presentations that often overlap but are frequently misunderstood in clinical settings.
Join Kerrie Jones (Founder & CEO, Orri), Dr Alison Lennox (Consultant Neurodevelopmental Psychiatrist, Cognacity), and Dr Joanna Silver (Lead Psychological Therapist, Orri) in exploring this complex intersection.
A significant percentage of individuals with eating disorders are autistic, with a particularly high overlap in cases of ARFID and Anorexia. Together, our speakers will unpack the challenges in assessment, diagnosis and treatment and discuss strategies to support patients more effectively.
In this webinar, we will dive into:
- How to differentiate Autism, Anorexia and ARFID in clinical presentation
- The complexities of making a diagnosis and adapting care to meet the unique needs of individuals with these conditions
