Top 10 Neurodiversity-Affirming Eating Disorder Podcasts to Check Out in 2025
The conversation around eating disorders is shifting, and it’s long overdue.

Here are 10 neurodiversity-affirming podcasts centering eating disorders and neurodivergent voices in 2025 (in no particular order).

So let’s explore how neurodiversity and eating disorders overlap and how you can get help for it in London, England.
