Today, we’re diving into an incredibly important topic: embracing neurodiversity within dietetic practice. With neurodivergent conditions like ADHD and autism gaining increased recognition, it’s vital for dietitians to develop inclusive approaches to meet the needs of these patients effectively. In this episode, we’ll explore how neurodivergent conditions can shape dietary behaviours, discuss communication strategies, and consider how we can better support neurodiverse service users to create a more inclusive and effective healthcare environment.
