Disability & Neurodiversity

In this week's episode, Han is joined by Emily Nuttall. Emily is a mental health campaigner, and ambassador for BEAT and Mind. Emily is also advising at Action for Children.

In this week's episode, we discuss:

  • Emily's experience of an eating disorder.

  • The impact of having cerebral palsy on the development of Emily's eating disorder, and how this impacted her recovery.

  • The impact of having autism on the development of Emily's eating disorder, and how this impacted her recovery.

  • What Emily found useful in her treatment, and the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach which individualises treatment based on the patient, not the diagnosis.

  • Emily's awareness-raising work as an individual with lived experience.
