Research summary
I am particularly interested in disordered eating behaviours and psychological correlates in people with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. The goal of my thesis is to explore to what extend disordered eating behaviours are associated with ADHD and/or ASD in children, adolescents, and adults and potential factors that cause and/or contribute to disordered eating such as age, gender, symptoms profiles, comorbid problems (depression, anxiety, sleeping), screen time and physical activity level. The opportune identification of the relationship between disordered eating, ADHD and ASD in children, adolescents, adults could contribute to the assessment and management of people with ADHD and/or ASD and could also lead to prevention strategies for negative outcomes such as ED and obesity. My methodological expertise crosses systematic review and quantitative data.
