How do I eat intuitively as an autistic person that’s recovered from an eating disorder? This is a question I’ve received so often, and for good reason! I talk all about food freedom, extreme hunger, and honoring your body’s needs, while at the same time talking about how autistic people may struggle with recognizing bodily cues and how many behaviors that may seem restrictive from an eating disorder lens are actually manifestations of autistic traits. So how does honoring hunger fit together with being autistic? Listen to this episode to find out!

Key Topics Discussed:

• How lack of interoceptive awareness can complicate intuitive eating for neurodivergent folks
• Why the concept of “fear foods” may look different for neurodivergent people in ED recovery
• How meal plans can be a helpful tool for autistic people in eating disorder recovery
• The role of the nervous system in an autistic person’s ability to sense and respond to hunger cues
• How I implement the concepts “logical eating” and “freedom routines” as an autistic person that eats intuitively
• Why I don’t always recommend getting rid of the food scale in eating disorder recovery
