Asperger's syndrome and atypical eating disorder in a man with late diagnosed XYY syndrome

Abstract

We report the case of a man with Asperger's syndrome and borderline intelligence, atypical eating disorder (food faddiness/refusal due to fear of choking) and XYY syndrome. We consider multi‐modal management and inter‐agency service provision issues in meeting his complex mental health and social needs.
