Anorexia nervosa - on the autistic spectrum? [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Numerous parental and anecdotal clinical reports, including some research studies, have highlighted that unusual eating behaviours and habits are often present in children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). Some researchers have argued that feeding difficulties in infancy may be an early marker for later diagnosis of ASD. Studies have found neuropsychological, behavioural and cognitive similarities in individuals with ASD and individuals with anorexia nervosa, which highlights the question of whether anorexia should be considered within the spectrum of autistic disorders.
