We are excited to announce our new study titled “Lived Experience of EAting Disorders In Neurodivergent and Gender-diverse people (LEADING) Study.”

This research focuses on understanding the experiences of eating disorders among gender-diverse individuals in Wales who are also autistic or have ADHD (or both). We also aim to investigate this populations experiences of eating disorder treatment in Wales.

The three-year study is led by Cardiff University in collaboration with the Wales Autism Research Centre and University College London, and is funded by Health and Care Research Wales.
