Pica and Rumination Disorder in Autistic People

Despite the occurrence of pica and rumination disorder in autistic or neurodivergent people, they have rarely been the sole focus of attention. As a result, many are left feeling alone, carrying confusion, stigma, and shame without the language or support to make sense of their experiences. This accessible guide to pica and rumination disorder is the first to offer a deeper understanding of these conditions for those working with and supporting autistic people. Covering a range of topics such as getting a diagnosis, growing up with pica, and parenting with pica, this book is perfect for nursery workers, occupational therapists, psychologists, and education professionals, as well as autistic people living with pica and rumination.
