Neurodivergent and gender diverse people may be at higher risk of developing eating disorders (EDs). LEADING study aims to better understand EDs in these groups.

Light purple background with black text “up to 40% of people with an eating disorder also have neurodivergent traits (Nazar et al., 2016; Westwood et al., 2017)“ and graphic depicting white silhouette figures each standing in a circle with the circles slightly overlapping. One of the figures has a rainbow infinity sign on their chest to indicate neurodivergence. There is also a rainbow infinity sign in the area where the circles overlap. Blue background with text reading “gender diverse people are up to 6x more likely to develop eating disorder symptoms compared to cisgender people (Warrier et al., 2020)“ Light green background with a venn diagram of three overlapping circles in blue, yellow, and teal. The circles are labled “Gender diversity“ (blue), “Neurodivergence“ (yellow), and “Eating disorders“ (teal). Below the graphic, text reads “Amongst gender diverse people, those who are neurodivergent may be more likely to experience an eating disorder“ Light red background with the LEADING Study logo [LEADING Study written in black over a background of diagonal stripes in the colours of the progress pride flag (rainbow with brown and black)] at the top. Below the logo, black text reads “Our goal is to better understand eating disorders in gender diverse and neurodivergent folks“ and “Get in touch with us at LEADING_study@cardiff.ac.uk to learn more about our work and how to get involved“

We focuses on work using the guise of a letter to write to a fear food, a common experience for people
in recovery from eating disorder/food obsession. Here's a great summary from dietician Erin Reeves, RD. Fear foods can be common things like oatmeal or even fruit salad! #eatingdisorderrecovery
a neon bright bowl of ice cream is superimposed with the words Fear Food: foods that feel unsafe, triggering, and emotionally charged… for people with fear foods, consuming those foods—or even thinking about them—can increase negative thoughts or feelings and attributes that quote to dietician Erin Reeves.
