Many people discover they are autistic only after years of struggling with eating disorders. This episode explores how a late autism diagnosis can reshape recovery by offering new understanding, compassion, and practical tools that fit the neurodivergent brain. Understanding a Late Autism Diagnosis Receiving an autism diagnosis in adulthood can bring both clarity and grief. It helps explain lifelong struggles with sensory overload, food textures, or social expectations, while revealing how years of misdiagnosis delayed meaningful support. In recovery, recognizing autism can change everything by connecting eating patterns to sensory differences and masking rather than willpower or motivation. Masking, Sensory Needs, and Food Autistic masking often overlaps with eating disorder behaviors. Restricting food, eating “normally” in social settings, or following rigid meal plans can become ways to hide difference and avoid judgment. This chronic effort to appear typical creates exhaustion and disconnection from true needs. At the same time, sensory experiences around food are often intense. Taste, smell, temperature, and texture can feel overwhelming or unpredictable. Foods that others find pleasant may feel unsafe or even painful. Sustainable recovery begins when we make space for sensory preferences and allow eating to feel safe rather than forced. ARFID and Autism Overlap Avoidant or Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) frequently occurs alongside autism. This overlap reflects sensory sensitivities, fear of choking or nausea, and low appetite rather than body image concerns. Recognizing this link shifts the goal of recovery away from compliance and toward creating safety, autonomy, and predictability in eating. Intersectionality in Diagnosis and Recovery Autism and eating disorders cannot be separated from the realities of race, gender, body size, class, and sexuality. Marginalized people are less likely to be diagnosed early and more likely to experience bias in treatment. Fat, BIPOC, and queer autistic people are often labeled as resistant when their needs are simply misunderstood. A liberation-based approach to recovery asks how we can build care that honors the whole person. It challenges systems that pathologize difference and reframes healing as a process of reclaiming identity and dignity, not just changing eating behaviors. Case Example Dr. Marianne shares the story of a fat, queer woman of color who learned she was autistic in her late 30s after years of being told she was noncompliant in treatment. Providers dismissed her sensory distress and focused only on weight loss. She masked constantly, pretending to eat foods that overwhelmed her senses in order to appear cooperative. Her diagnosis transformed her recovery. She began to design meals that respected her sensory needs, sought affirming providers, and connected with other neurodivergent women of color. Once her care aligned with her full identity, shame gave way to self-trust, and recovery finally felt sustainable. Pathways Toward Neurodivergent-Affirming Recovery A late autism diagnosis does not make recovery harder, but it does require reframing what recovery means. Sensory-attuned approaches allow individuals to choose foods that feel safe rather than forcing exposure to distressing ones. Predictable meal routines and gentle flexibility can replace pressure to eat intuitively when interoception is limited. Executive functioning supports such as reminders, meal prep systems, and visual cues make daily nourishment possible. These tools are not crutches; they are accommodations. Recovery also involves boundary-setting and self-advocacy after years of masking needs. Finding autistic and intersectional community can turn isolation into belonging, making recovery not just about food but about identity and connection. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for autistic adults in recovery, clinicians learning to support neurodivergent clients, and anyone who has realized that standard eating disorder treatment does not fit. It also speaks to people exploring how autism, sensory processing, and identity intersect with food and body experiences.

"I'd rather suck at running and have my life back," Erin McDonald, who just won the 2025 Detroit Free Press International Half Marathon in 1:16. She objectively does not suck at running, but she does have her life back! Erin McDonald recently opened up about her struggles with restrictive and rigid eating in college as a runner at Michigan State University. She was primed and favored to make nationals her senior year—staying "disiplined" with her food, rest, and training routine—but the race went totally awry. With a job lined up after graduation, she was ready for a long break from running. Four years, in fact. When she came back to the sport, she had gained weight from fueling adequately and listening to her body, as well as taking care of her mental health. She was curious about the marathon, and was about to find out, she was pretty good at it!  But as she shares in this episode, her motivation for recovering from restrictive eating and chronic injuries had nothing to do with fast times. She just wanted her life back, and in this case, the rest came together.   Follow Erin on Instagram to cheer her on as she tackles another marathon this year, @sunkistErin.  Follow @Lane9project on Instgram, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter here.  Connect with a clinician near you, and find your full team of women's health and sport providers, by going to Lane9Project.org/directory.

It's claimed new guidelines are restricting Clare Special Needs Assistants from helping children in the classroom. It comes as the Department of Education has also been requested to carry out a full review of additional needs school spaces in this county. A circular issued by the Department of Education in May states the role of the SNA is to support the care needs of a child and that responsibility for the overall progress of students lies with the classroom teacher. A recent report by the he National Council for Special Education has also indicated that SNAs should have no role in assisting children with behavioural difficulties, causing outcry in Clare. The local authority has now requested that Minister Helen McEntee calls for an urgent meeting with the NCSE to resolve the issues. Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor and SNA, Antoinette Baker Bashua believes it's a glaring policy error.

Destructive habits don't always look destructive. Overworking can look like discipline. Restricting can look like “health.” Over-giving can look like kindness. To the outside it looks good. To your soul, it's compromise. What we cover Why habits are the evidence of your current self-worth story The “distorted mirror” analogy — fixing the mirror vs. fixing the reflection Real talk on shape-shifting for approval (the chameleon trap) Four “good-looking” habits that are secretly destructive How numbing keeps you from hearing the part of you that wants to be free Hand-me-down beliefs: family, culture, communities, even churches (they may love you, but may still pass on distortion) The first move to change: repair the story, and the habits follow Mic-drop quotes “Your habits don't lie.

What used to work for your body in your 30's doesn't seem to work anymore. The skipped meals, low-fat foods, and calorie cutting that once helped you bounce back now leave you tired, hungry, and struggling with your weight. There's a reason for this – your midlife body requires a different approach to nutrition.The midlife plate isn't another restrictive diet or complicated eating plan. It's a framework built on four essential pillars that support your changing hormones, metabolism, and energy needs. Protein becomes non-negotiable, serving as the anchor for every meal to maintain precious muscle mass. Fiber from colorful vegetables and fruits supports digestion and hormone processing. Healthy fats – yes, fats! – provide sustained energy and crucial building blocks for hormone production. And vibrant colors on your plate deliver a spectrum of nutrients your body craves.After decades of being told to eat less, count calories, and fear food groups, this approach flips the script. Instead of asking what to cut out, we focus on what to add in. This mental shift transforms eating from a source of stress to a form of self-care. The result? Steadier energy, fewer cravings, better sleep, and a more peaceful relationship with food.I've lived through the frustration of restriction-based dieting. I've blamed myself when those approaches inevitably failed. But when I finally understood what my midlife body truly needed – nourishment, not deprivation – everything changed. That's why I'm opening the doors to my new cooking and food membership on November 1st, creating a space where women can learn to implement the midlife plate in real life, with real recipes and real support.Don't let this be another episode you listen to and then forget. Take one small step today: look at your next meal and ask yourself – do I have protein, fiber, healthy fats, and color? And when you're ready to go deeper, join me in the membership where we'll transform your relationship with food, one nourishing plate at a time.Info about the membership coming soon! I would love to hear from you!

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright open the Fat Science mailbag to answer listener questions from around the globe. This episode covers real-world metabolic challenges—from navigating calorie restriction and GLP-1 medications to the complexities of bariatric surgery, prednisone's impact on weight, and menopause. Dr. Cooper offers clear explanations and practical advice for healthcare professionals and patients alike on understanding metabolic dysfunction, interpreting lab results, and setting realistic weight loss expectations.Key Takeaways:Calorie restriction and intermittent fasting can destabilize metabolism, making recovery complex for some patients—gradual changes and medical monitoring are essential.Bariatric surgery can be an effective intervention for those with significant insulin resistance or high hunger signals. Pre-surgery metabolic testing (like insulin, glucose, and ghrelin levels) is valuable in assessing the likely benefit.Plateaus after surgery, persistent weight struggles, and the role of genetics highlight the need for root-cause investigation, not just symptom management.Prednisone and hormone therapies (including MHT for menopause) can affect metabolic health; small dietary adjustments, body composition testing, and tailored exercise are crucial for optimizing outcomes.Guidance on GLP-1 medication maintenance: Most patients benefit from staying on weight loss meds long-term, but dose adjustment is possible when side effects arise. Stability over many months is critical before considering any taper.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea shares her experience with bariatric surgery and ongoing metabolic management, emphasizing realistic expectations and the benefit of medication-surgery synergy.Listeners ask: how to evaluate readiness to stop weight loss meds, address side effects, and balance hormone needs during menopause.Resources from the episode:Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to share the real science behind why we get fat, addressing stigma and confusion with facts, hope, and empowering stories.Updates on Dr. Cooper's upcoming virtual metabolic health training—ideal for practitioners in the UK and beyond.Information about Melanocortin pathway testing programs for severe, persistent obesity.https://uncoveringrareobesity.com/Link to previous show. “GLP-1s: Will I Have to Take Them Forever?” (5/19/25)https://open.spotify.com/episode/1GZA71gTMSz0idbnEYblVO?si=gJXxNkbYTHykhNDw0Ebltg Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

Dr. Charles LeBaron is a retired CDC scientist and the author of Greed to Do Good: The Untold Story of CDC's Disastrous War on Opioids. He talks with Steve about the ill-considered response to the opioid crisis and the tragic and preventable consequences of the CDC's 2016 guidelines. Restricting prescriptions without providing treatment (whether for pain relief or addiction) drove users to illicit opioids like fentanyl and a surge in overdose deaths.The conversation expands to systemic issues, including the corporate greed of Big Pharma, political exploitation of the crisis, and the punitive rather than rehabilitative approach to addiction. Steve and Charles highlight how austerity policies and privatization exacerbate the epidemic, disproportionately harming working class and marginalized communities. They criticize current political responses, such as RFK Jr.'s proposed cuts to addiction treatment programs in favor of ineffective "healing farms," as emblematic of a broader failure to address root causes. Both emphasize the need for compassionate, science-driven solutions over criminalization, underscoring how public health and social equity are inextricably linked. For more than twenty-eight years, Charles LeBaron worked as a medical epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While there, he was the author of more than fifty scientific studies published in peer-reviewed journals, including first- or senior- author papers in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Episode 4546: If We See It Through We Will Win; Restricting Foreign Flags In The Capitol

Story at-a-glance New research shows over 70% of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) patients reported significant symptom improvement with holistic treatment, even when lab tests remained abnormal SIBO develops when digestive metabolism slows down and bacteria migrate where they don't belong, causing bloating, gas and food intolerances Antibiotics often worsen the condition by disrupting gut ecology and triggering candida overgrowth, creating a secondary fungal problem Restricting carbohydrates provides temporary relief but ultimately weakens metabolism; gradually reintroducing simple carbs helps rebuild gut health Addressing underlying causes like low thyroid function, hormone imbalances and poor motility is more effective than simply targeting bacterial overgrowth

A controversial research program is now again being restricted. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on May 5 about “Improving the Safety and Security of Biological Research.” The order takes aim at practices including gain-of-function research, where scientists add new capabilities to existing pathogens. And in particular, it also addresses taxpayer-funded research programs in other countries where restrictions may not be as strong.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
