October is Sensory Processing Disorder Awareness Month!

In this episode of The Nourishing Autism Podcast, Brittyn breaks down the real reason behind selective eating for kids with SPD. You'll learn how sensory overwhelm can lead to a narrow list of "safe foods", why that matters for your child's nutrition, and what simple steps you can take to create calm, low-pressure mealtimes that honor your child's sensory needs.

Brittyn walks you through:

What's really happening when your child avoids certain textures or temperatures
How sensory overwhelm affects appetite and food variety
Practical ways to make mealtimes more regulated and stress-free
How to start expanding your child's diet using their unique food sensory profile

Whether your child seeks out big sensory experiences with food or avoids them altogether, this episode will help you understand how to meet them right where they are.
