In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott are once again joined by Sophie James as they get real about the challenges neurodivergent individuals face with food, from ARFID and sensory issues to body image and emotional regulation. They share personal stories, reflect on childhood eating habits, and explore how cooking and self-compassion play a role in healing.

🎤 In this episode, we explore:

• The challenges of eating as a neurodivergent person
• How executive dysfunction impacts food choices
• The role of childhood habits, cooking, and parental influence
• Struggles with self-perception and emotional regulation
• The influence of social media on body image and self-worth

Whether you're neurodivergent, a parent, or just curious about the complex relationship between food and mental health, this episode offers a compassionate and eye-opening perspective. Tune in for a journey toward self-acceptance, balance, and kinder relationships with food.
