Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in neurological and cognitive function present in the human population. Recent research shows that neurodiverse individuals are particularly susceptible to the development of obesity in adolescence due to various biopsychosocial factors. This workshop will explore principles impacting the care of neurodiverse patients and challenge physicians to improve intentionality in their communication with neurodiverse patients. We will focus on multiple neurodiverse conditions commonly associated with obesity due to underlying factors of neurobiology or related to iatrogenic effects of their treatments including autism, polycystic ovarian syndrome, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, syndromic disorders, ADHD, and transgender patients. By the end of this presentation, healthcare providers will understand the complex interplay between obesity and neurodiversity in adolescents. Attendees will gain valuable insights into neurobiological theories, hormonal and cultural influences, executive function deficits, and patient-centered approaches, to enable more informed and personalized care to neurodiverse teens struggling with obesity. Workshop content will be delivered through innovative adult-learner centered strategies including case discussion, think/pair/share, and dynamic visualization. Learners will receive compiled resources summarizing workshop content.
