New paper out in Lancet Psychiatry - we set out a list of Top 10 Priorities for the field of eating disorders in neurodivergent people (here referring to autistic people and/or people with ADHD) thelancet.com/journals/lanps… 1/5

We took a combined approach of a broad open answer online survey + an in-depth workshop discussion, asking people with lived experience what they thought the priorities for future research should be 2/5

We then whittled this down through a series of workshop exercises and votes to a ranked Top 10, spanning both clinically focused and more discovery science topics. We hope this will encourage future research to reflect the priorities of people with lived experience 3/5

Has been such an interesting and enlightening project to work on, shoutout to my amazing co-authors Moritz Will Mandy and super-RA Johanna Keller, and all the participants who kindly gave their time 4/5

Also thanks to The Lancet Psych editorial team for being so open to a slightly different format of manuscript, giving great editorial guidance and generally making the whole submission and revision process run incredibly smoothly 5/5

Still in shock about the news of @SteveSilberman. Steve helped revolutionise the way we think about autism, the rights of autistic people and the need to build a world that is fair and inclusive to all. I will miss his extraordinary spirit and empathy. And the world will too.
