Top 10 Neurodiversity-Affirming Eating Disorder Podcasts to Check Out in 2025
The conversation around eating disorders is shifting, and it’s long overdue. As more neurodivergent folks share their stories, we’re finally seeing recognition that traditional ED treatments don’t always fit every brain. Sensory sensitivities, autistic inertia, executive functioning challenges, and emotional regulation struggles all play a huge role in how neurodivergent people experience food, body, and recovery.
Thankfully, there are podcasts from California to Australia to Ireland to England leading the way in creating neurodiversity-affirming spaces where eating disorder recovery looks different — and that’s SO okay.
Here are 10 neurodiversity-affirming podcasts centering eating disorders and neurodivergent voices in 2025 (in no particular order).
