The Hidden Spectrum Within Eating Disorders: Clustering Neurodivergent Traits and Sensory Sensitivity
This study identifies four distinct neurodevelopmental and clinical profiles among women with eating disorders, defined by differences in autistic traits, sensory sensitivity, and social cognition. Understanding these profiles can help clinicians recognize the diversity of presentations in eating disorders and adapt interventions to the specific needs of each individual, particularly those with neurodivergent features, ultimately promoting more personalized and effective care.
