Family-based treatment (FBT) is the first recommended treatment for children and adolescents with anorexia nervosa, improving recovery outcomes by involving the family in the process.
Recent research indicates that FBT is as effective for autistic children with anorexia as for nonautistic children, although autistic children may require more intensive intervention.
Adapting family-based treatment to better accommodate the needs of autistic individuals can potentially enhance its effectiveness in outpatient settings.
FBT views the family as a supportive resource in the recovery journey, focusing on helping the child restore age-appropriate eating behaviors with parental guidance.
