Sensory processing in autism and anorexia *HEALTHY CONTROLS NEEDED*
20 May 2019
We're investigating whether sensory processing (e.g. taste and smell) is altered in people with anorexia nervosa, and whether these differences might be linked to co-occurring autistic traits.
We have now met our target for recruiting people with anorexia, so we are now only recruiting healthy controls who are female, aged 25-55, with no history of mental health conditions/ eating disorders/ autism diagnosis.
