I highlight the increased risk of co-occurring eating disorders in ADHD and autistic women, emphasizing the impact of alexithymia and hyperfocus on their relationship with food. I explain how difficulties in identifying and expressing emotions, along with hyperfocus, can lead to challenges in remembering to eat and tuning in to bodily cues. Special treatments like external scaffolding and building the ability to recognize cues are essential. Blood sugar management is also addressed.
