Ep. 95: Autism and Eating Disorders with Livia Sara

A person with long hair smiles while holding a large bowl of food, including tofu, vegetables, and a lemon wedge. They are sitting at a wooden table in a restaurant with large windows, embracing the journey of overcoming eating disorders through mindful dining experiences.

Anna Lutz chats with Livia Sara, an autism eating disorder recovery coach. They discuss why we often see people with autistic traits develop disordered eating behaviors, and why the way in which we talk about food is especially important among people with autism. They also discuss protective ways parents and teachers can talk to all children about food.
