If you have spent your evening scrolling through search results for a disordered eating test, you are likely looking for more than just a score. You are looking for validation. Perhaps you feel that food has taken up too much space in your mind, or that your relationship with your body has become a source of quiet, constant friction. Online screening tools, like the SCOFF or the EAT-26, can be a helpful starting point. They offer a moment of reflection and a way to name what

If you are neurodivergent: perhaps you are autistic, have ADHD, or experience sensory processing differences: your relationship with food has likely always felt a little different. You may have been labeled a "picky eater" as a child, or told that you would "grow out of" your preference for specific brands and textures. However, for many in the neurodivergent community, these patterns aren't about being difficult. They are about how your brain and body process the world. When

For many people, the cycle of binge eating feels like a constant battle of willpower, a repeated failure to "just stop." You may have spent years blaming yourself, trying rigid diets, or following standard advice that tells you to "identify your emotions" or "use self-control." But if you are living with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), these standard approaches often fail. It isn't because you aren't trying hard enough; it’s because your brain is wired differ

For many adults living with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), life has been a long series of misunderstood mealtimes. You might have been labeled a "picky eater" in childhood, only to find that those "quirks" never went away. Perhaps your world has slowly shrunk as you navigate social events, travel, and even daily grocery shopping around a very limited list of safe foods. Seeking an arfid assessment for adults is often a significant turning point. It is the

If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to fit a hexagonal peg into a very square, very clinical hole, you’re not alone. In the world of eating disorder (ED) treatment, the "standard" model was largely built around a very specific demographic: young, cisgender, heterosexual, white women. But here’s the thing: eating disorders don’t check your ID or your orientation before they move in. In fact, they seem to have a particular affinity for the LGBTQ+ community. When you’re navig

Dietitians Week 2026 is here, and this year’s theme from the British Dietetic Association (BDA), "More than just a job," resonates deeply with us. In the specialist world of eating disorder recovery, a dietitian is often the bridge between the overwhelming complexity of a "broken" relationship with food and the steady, grounded reality of nourishment. But at The Eating Disorders Clinic, being a dietitian goes even further. For us, it’s about providing neurodivergent eating di

As we reach the final days of May, the transition from Mental Health Month into the rest of the year offers a unique moment for pause. This year, the global theme of "More Good Days, Together" has invited us to look beyond the clinical definitions of "wellness" and instead explore what a truly supportive, sustainable life looks like for each of us. At The Eating Disorders Clinic, we know that for those navigating the complexities of an eating disorder, neurodivergence, or the

If you have ever found yourself standing in front of an open fridge, feeling physically hollow with hunger, yet completely unable to choose or prepare a single thing to eat, you aren’t "failing" at being an adult. You aren’t being "picky," and you certainly aren’t "lazy." For many neurodivergent individuals: particularly those of us who are autistic or have ADHD: there comes a point where the world simply becomes too loud, too bright, and too demanding. This is often referred
