In this episode, Heather and Kerissa continue their discussion on nutrition and eating challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). They are joined by dietitian Sarah Martin, who shares her insights on the complexities of feeding neurodivergent children, the importance of autonomy in eating, and practical strategies for parents. The conversation emphasizes breaking away from traditional food norms, understanding sensory issues, and creating a supportive environment for healthy eating habits.
