Brittyn gets ready to head out on maternity leave but is sharing her top resources for getting started with nutrition for autism to prevent overwhelm and take one step at a time. If you’re trying to break down diet, picky eating, nutrition supplements, and lifestyle changes and don’t know where to get started - she has the recommendations for you!

In today’s episode, Brittyn interviews Melanie Potock, CCC-SLP to discuss how to support children and families as part of an interdisciplinary care feeding team for children on the autism spectrum. Kids with ASD are more likely to be picky eaters and are less likely to emerge out of the “picky eating stage” as young children. Together we explore the most common reasons why children on the spectrum are picky eaters and why the “Starve It Out” Method can cause more harm than good.

On this week’s episode, Brittyn welcomes her colleague Elisa Rocks. Elisa is a registered dietitian and an autism nutrition specialist. She helps kids with autism feel well so they can lead healthier, happier lives. She offers comprehensive one-on-one support focuses on repairing the gut, resolving food, sensitivities, replenishing, nutrients, and rebuilding a positive relationship with food for picky eaters.

On today’s episode, Brittyn is discussing Miralax and constipation, which is a really common topic in autism. Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal issues in children on the autism spectrum, and studies show that GI issues are directly linked to increased problem behaviors and anxiety!
