Thread Name: BS: April is Autism awareness month
Subject: RE: BS: April is Autism awareness month
There was a piece on the BBC Radio 4 yesterday on some work linking autism with anorexia. They were very careful to say that a) not all anorexics have any autism, and b) not all autists have anorexia, but beleived that a link had been found in some cases. In particular, where the anorexic has embarked upon a course of action which turns out to be unhelpful, but finds themself unable to change it. It was suggested in order to make sure that the treatment offered to anorexics was appropriate to their condition.

It is on this programme though not in the blurb
