If you have ADHD, you probably already know that your brain works a little differently. You might be a brilliant problem-solver or a creative powerhouse, but you might also find that "just eating normally" feels like an impossible task. If you often find yourself standing in front of the fridge at 10 PM, eating without really knowing why, or if you feel a sudden, urgent need to consume high-energy foods when you’re bored or stressed, you aren't alone. The link between ADHD an

For many years, the field of eating disorder treatment has relied on a "gold standard" of care: models of therapy designed to address the psychological and behavioral patterns of a heterogeneous population. However, for those who are neurodivergent: individuals with Autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences: these standard models can often feel like a mismatch. If you have sought help before and felt that the treatment "didn't stick," or if you found the clinical envir

When you hear the word anorexia , what is the first image that comes to mind? For many, it is a specific, narrow stereotype: a young, skeletal woman in a hospital setting. This "standard" image has been reinforced by decades of media representation and outdated clinical models. However, as we observe World Eating Disorders Action Day , we must confront a vital truth: anorexia does not have a single "look." At The Eating Disorders Clinic , we meet individuals every day who are

If you are a parent sitting at the dinner table watching your child struggle with food, you have likely heard the term "picky eater" more times than you can count. You may have been told they will "grow out of it" or that they just need to be "hungry enough" to eat what is served. But as a parent, your intuition often tells a different story. You see the genuine distress, the physical gagging, or the complete lack of interest in food that goes far beyond a simple preference f

Discovering that your child or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder is an experience often marked by a profound sense of overwhelm, confusion, and fear. You may find yourself questioning where things "went wrong" or feeling a heavy burden of responsibility for their wellbeing. At The Eating Disorders Clinic , we want to begin by offering a clear, compassionate correction to that narrative: this is not your fault. Eating disorders are complex, heterogeneous condi

For many parents and individuals, mealtimes are far from the relaxing, connecting experiences they are "supposed" to be. Instead, they can feel like a daily performance of negotiation, anxiety, and frustration. You might have been told that your child: or even you: is simply a "picky eater" and that they will "grow out of it" if you just try harder or offer more rewards. However, for many people, what looks like "pickiness" on the surface is actually rooted in deep-seated sen

For many adults, the struggle with food has been a lifelong, quiet companion. You might have been labeled a "picky eater" as a child, with the expectation that you would simply "grow out of it." But as the years passed, the narrow range of acceptable foods didn't expand. Instead, the world became a minefield of social pressures, work lunches, and health concerns that others seemed to navigate with ease. If you find that your relationship with food is defined by sensory overwh

For a long time, the world of eating disorder treatment focused almost exclusively on a single narrative: the desire for thinness and a fear of weight gain. While this remains true for many, it often leaves a significant group of people feeling unseen, specifically, those in the neurodivergent community. At The Eating Disorders Clinic , we recognize that for many autistic individuals, the struggle with food isn't necessarily about a drive for a certain body shape. Instead, it
