In Anorexia, Autism and Me , Grace Robinson courageously shares her journey through autism and anorexia, a battle that began during the isolating pressures of the Covid lockdown. At just 18, Grace opens up about how the pandemic triggered a downward spiral into anorexia, stripping away her passions, including swimming, a lifeline she once relied on for emotional regulation. While her autism diagnosis helped her understand herself better, the isolation and stress of the lockdown intensified her struggle. Grace's story is one of resilience and recovery. Through pain and setbacks, she found strength within herself to rebuild her life and reclaim the joy that anorexia had taken away. Julie Robinson, Grace's mother, provides her perspective on this journey. Raising three daughters, including one with autism, Julie shares the heartache of watching Grace suffer, but also the privilege of witnessing her daughter's courage and determination to heal. Julie's story emphasises the importance of being present, listening, and supporting without judgment. "A heartfelt, beautifully written, emotional journey of using your own inner critical self to then be your own mentor. This book is such an amazing achievement that I couldn't put it down. It will help anyone who reads it." Katrina Speakman. Anorexia, Autism and Me is a message of hope for anyone who has struggled in silence. Grace's story shows that, even in the darkest times, recovery is possible, and you are never truly alone. "This book is a brave and honest account... It highlights the importance of knowing what is right about you and not just what is wrong with you. It is readable and informative, with practical strategies useful for parents, children, care professionals, and anyone seeking to improve relationships with others. Read it, it will be time well spent!" Dr Jan Macfarlane.
