Publisher's summary

Autism and Anorexia—a “Perfect” Combo

At just 15 years of age, Livia was tossed out of the Dutch eating disorder treatment system with the message: "You're just going to have to accept the fact that you're never going to get better."

Growing up unknowingly autistic, Livia spent the majority of her young life seeking worth and validation in external achievements. She excelled in her honors classes, competitive sports, and eventually, an eating disorder.

Until the control she so desperately sought nearly killed her, Livia made the hardest decision anyone with an eating disorder can make: to trust and surrender to the recovery process.

In this gripping and vulnerable memoir, Livia answers the question: What does it take to recover from an eating disorder as an autistic person?

In this book, you will learn:

- How autistic traits can manifest as eating disorder behaviors

- The harmful nature of FBT for autistic people with eating disorders

- The role of demand avoidance (PDA) in autism and eating disorders

- Insights to making eating disorder treatment neurodiversity-affirming

- How to cope with weight gain as an autistic person in ED recovery

- How to free yourself from exercise addiction in ED recovery

- The key to discovering your true self after an eating disorder
