Naomi sits down with Brianne Leeson to share her story on how she started recovery for anorexia at the age 15 but wasn't diagnosed as autistic and ADHD until much later in life. Brianne sheds light on how autistic individuals often don't experience hunger the same way as others, and her relationship with food changed when she finally learned she was also experiencing ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). As an LGBTQIA woman, Naomi and Brianne also chat about how prevalent eating disorders are among this population and the stigma that still very much exists, particularly in more southern states.
