Annalaura shares her own story growing up autistic, how diet changes impacted her health and mood, and what she has learned from supporting autistic clients with allergies, food sensitivities, and special diets. Together, Jimmy and Annalaura talk honestly about the pressure to “eat perfectly,” why small changes matter more than perfection, and how autism can be a blessing—even when life is hard. (edit)
