What happens when neurodivergence, queerness, and eating disorders all show up in the same therapy room—and most of us were never trained to recognize it? In this episode, Allison and psychologist Kelly Simonson unpack how autism, ADHD, and queer identities intersect with restriction, binging, ARFID, safe foods, stimming, “food noise,” and that relentless internal ledger so many clients carry. They talk honestly about the clients they missed earlier in their careers, why so many neurodivergent and queer folks get mislabeled as “treatment resistant,” and how sensory needs, minority stress, and body-based shame reshape the clinical picture. You’ll hear practical, real-world ways to assess for eating disorder concerns in neurodivergent and queer clients, plus ideas for creating spaces where people can actually unmask and feel safe. It’s thoughtful, nuanced, and very much Not Boring. And if you want CE credit for this conversation (and all your asynchronous hours), you can grab it in one fun, therapist-friendly place: Not Boring CEs.
