I firmly believe these are related and am glad to know research is continuing in this area.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the work you do to bring important information to the fingertips of those of us who follow your blog (and pass along the information you post). Opens so many possibilities and, as well, helps me at least keep my mind open to the idea of thinking outside of the box.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you!Jenniferhttp://www.desertdwellergettingon.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-40350371778180241692012-01-02T08:51:29.411-05:002012-01-02T08:51:29.411-05:00Ooh yes!

I've just read through the...Thanks Carrie! :) <br /><br />I've just read through the whole paper investigating autism and autistic characteristics in the 50 individuals with a history of anorexia nervosa (AN) in Sweden. Interesting stuff. The sentence in the Discussion section regarding the AN + ASD group "They were ambitious and 'perfect' little girls, while at the same time they were described<br />as being stubborn with inexplicable outbursts" reminds me of the book that I have always disliked by Levenkron ("The Best Little Girl in the World"). Nevertheless, I do think that the research in this paper is sound. <br /><br />I also found the article about OCD and child hypersensitivity interesting.<br /><br />As for "10 things you shouldn't say to an ED sufferer"... I think this matter is subjective. People are individuals and not everyone with an ED thinks in the same way. For example, there are some things on that list that I would have found 'triggering' while anorexic, but the idea that ALL people with EDs 'compete' against one-another is incorrect. From a personal perspective, I have never compared myself to other's with AN. In fact, seeing someone with AN thinner than me was actually a great relief - because I was embarrassed about my thinness and hated it.Extra Long Tailhttp://www.extralongtail.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
