New Podcast Episode: Understanding Feeding and Eating Disorders

Many families experience the stress of tricky mealtimes – but for some children, feeding challenges go far beyond “picky eating.” In this episode of Autism Unpacked, we speak with Natalie Raven Morris, Speech and Language Therapist and CEO of The Feeding Trust, to explore what lies beneath feeding and eating disorders and how families can find the right support.

Natalie shares why these difficulties are particularly common among autistic children, how sensory differences and anxiety can play a role, and why mealtimes are about far more than food alone. She also offers practical tips – from celebrating small wins to creating calm, pressure-free mealtime routines – to make daily life a little easier.

Listen to the full episode for expert advice, relatable insights, and reassurance that you’re not alone.
