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.
