Listen Later

In this insightful episode of The Nourishing Autism Podcast, Brittyn welcomes Christina Van Ditto, an incredible mom, public speaker, writer, and advocate for neurodiverse families. Christina shares her personal experiences as a mother of two children and her family's journey with ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder).

Her daughter Gia was diagnosed with ARFID and is on the autism spectrum. Join Christina and Brittyn as they discuss the complexities of ARFID beyond extreme picky eating, with roots in severe sensory aversions and anxiety around food. You'll learn how to help your child develop a more positive relationship with food through fun, sensory activities.

Christina and Gia host an amazing baking show called "Baking with the Besties", designed to make food exposure enjoyable and non-threatening for Gia.
