TEST IF YOU ARE BEING TOO RESTRICTIVE, WHO’S AT RISK AND HOW TO CHILL.
Personal share + trigger alert. This is a picture of my family during autism recovery when we were afraid of food. We had almost zero fruit, berries, bread, starches, and yeast or sugar for years. Furthermore, we are going to talk about things that can be hard to face in this podcast episode. We have to. Clearly, there’s a fine line between “clean autism diets” and a hidden form of obsessive, restrictive eating that gets stressfully close to being dysfunctional.

restrictive autism diets? Barefoot autism warriors.

This podcast is created out of love (I have a personal experience with this). I truly want you to experience more freedom and less stress in your life as an autism parent. Clearly, it’s not my intention for you to feel wrong or worried. Also, an easier life (including diet and lifestyle) is what I wanted. Not harder. Besides, you have enough problems to deal with as it is.

WE ALSO COVER:
