It's #AutismAcceptanceMonth and I had the pleasure of speaking with Phaedra Longhurst about autism and her PhD research on positive body image in autistic adults for the Appearance Research podcast. I learned so much! Have a listen? open.spotify.com/episode/7aFY1d…

If you’re interested in body image/autism/eating disorders, go listen to this fab episode! I particularly loved the body neutrality theme in Phaedra’s research & the discussion around making psychometric measures more accessible for autistic folk & those w’ learning disabilities

It is depressingly rare to see eating disorder professionals include people with lived experience who belong to racialised minority groups in their research / co-production work. We are never going to meaningfully advance as a field until this changes.

I’m so pleased to see two sessions on eating disorders being delivered at #RCPsychIC - it’s very much on the agenda 💪🏻… excellent speakers in both sessions, lots of very interesting content 💙

I will be reviewing applications for a clinical psychology PhD student to begin at the University of Oregon in Fall 2025! Details about my lab, current and upcoming research, mentorship approach, preferred quals, and application tips are on my website: laurenforrest.com

You don’t NEED to reach out to your Black and brown and Muslim colleagues to check how they’re doing when riots against their very existence are raging across the country. But if you do, it’s welcomed. It’s noticed, and its absence… is also noted.

This is everything.
