The three-year study is led by Cardiff University in collaboration with the Wales Autism Research Centre and University College London, and is funded by Health and Care Research Wales.

This research focuses on understanding the experiences of eating disorders among gender-diverse individuals in Wales who are also autistic or have ADHD (or both). We also aim to investigate this populations experiences of eating disorder treatment in Wales.

We are excited to announce our new study titled “Lived Experience of EAting Disorders In Neurodivergent and Gender-diverse people (LEADING) Study.”
