Autistic traits and experience and attitude toward the body: an investigation in a sample of Italian female patients with eating disorders
the current work highlights that several core autistic traits, as assessed by the ADAS Spectrum, may be predictive of alterations in body image, knowledge, and satisfaction. The observed association between subthreshold autism and eating disorders supports the hypothesis that EDs could be one of the possible psychopathological trajectories of a neurodevelopmental disorder rooted in autism spectrum.
