Dark purple background with silhouettes of people in lighter purple and orange across it. White text in the middle reads '6 in 10 Autistic people with an eating disorder said their treatment was not adapted to take account of their needs*, our new report has found'. Text at the bottom reads 'Not Designed For Me: Transforming Eating Disorder Support for Autistic People.'Dark purple background with same repeating silhouettes of people across it. White italicised quote inside a purple speech bubble reads "Because my communication style, sensory needs, and emotional expression weren’t recognised as autistic traits, I was misunderstood, my needs were overlooked, and the care I received was often inappropriate. The lack of autism‑inclusive support meant I was trying to navigate treatment that simply wasn’t designed for me."Dark purple background with same repeating silhouettes of people across it. White text reads 'It doesn't have to be this way. The report details changes that can help provide the right environment for support and treatment - including screening for autism, and using the PEACE implementation checklist.'Dark purple background with same repeating silhouettes of people across it. White italicised quote inside a purple speech bubble reads  "The cycle of relapse and recovery went on for years. When I was eighteen, I was admitted to a day patient unit and honestly, it saved my life. Not because they were feeding me, but because they found something no one had found before - I was autistic. For the first time, I was able to access treatment that worked for me, because it accommodated my needs as an autistic person."
