For twenty years, Lesley A. Clements fought beside her daughter Lindsay against an enemy that never let go.Lindsay was funny, fiercely loved, and profoundly misunderstood - a young woman on the autism spectrum navigating a world that had no place for someone so singularly herself. What began as a struggle to fit in became a decades-long battle with anorexia and bulimia, one that pulled her entire family into hospital corridors, desperate phone calls, and a grief that started long before the day they lost her.Starving for Attention is Lesley’s unflinching account of raising, loving, and ultimately losing her daughter - not to a single moment, but to years of a disease that took everything and gave nothing back. It is a mother’s confession of guilt she may never fully release, and a tribute to a daughter whose courage deserves to be remembered as more than her illness.This is not a clinical account or a redemption story with a tidy ending. It is a raw, honest testimony written for every parent who has ever felt powerless to save their child, and for anyone who has ever fought - or loved someone fighting - the quiet, relentless war of an eating disorder.Lindsay Michele Clements is remembered here not for how her story ended, but for how bravely she lived it.

    Three particular themes are basic to this study.
