Disordered eating in autistic trans and gender diverse people: a lived experience-led scoping review.
Review in Journal of eating disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis lived experience-led scoping review explores the evidence base related to eating disorders/disordered eating behaviours in Autistic trans and gender diverse (TGD) people. This review highlights the currently available data on eating disorder prevalence rates, comparisons with allistic and cisgender groups, drivers and maintenance factors, the relationship between eating disorders and gender-affirming medical care, and treatment outcomes in this population.
methodsWe conducted a search of the databases ProQuest, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and PsycINFO for articles relating to eating disorders/disordered eating behaviours in Autistic TGD people. Five articles published between 2021 and 2025 met the criteria for the review.
resultsThe included articles were predominantly cross-sectional studies (n = 4) and one case series (n = 1). Researchers used a mixture of self-reported and clinically recorded eating disorder diagnoses, as well as validated measures, including the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire and the Nine-Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Scale. The literature highlights that the prevalence of eating disorders/disordered eating behaviours is high in the Autistic TGD population, and suggests that atypical presentations may be particularly common. Possible drivers and maintenance factors include sensory hypersensitivity, co-occurring Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, gender dysphoria and passing concerns, and appearance pressures idealising thinness. Limited data were available on the role of gender-affirming medical care or eating disorder treatments, or on treatment outcomes. DISCUSSION: Further research is needed to better understand the nuances of eating disorders/disordered eating behaviours in Autistic TGD people. Key to future research inquiries should be the adoption of an intersectional approach, co-production of research with Autistic TGD people, and research considering treatment outcomes.
