The Big Overlap Between Neurodivergence and Eating Disorders | Stacie Fanelli, LCSW

Stacie is a therapist in Southern California working in two group
practices: one specializing in neurodivergence and one
specializing in eating disorders. She first noticed a tremendous
amount of overlap between the two while working at eating
disorder treatment centers at all levels of care that were set up
for neurotypical clients. So she started an Instagram to discuss
solutions to the gaps in treatment and found an overwhelming
response from people about the sparse resources for this
population. Stacie now facilitates a support group for
neurodivergent folks in eating disorder recovery as well as a
general adult ADHD group. She works closely with RDs for
Neurodiversity to educate providers on neurodiversity-affirming
care within the eating disorders field.
