Description

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, Brittyn revisits her journey with Sarah, a devoted mother, and her son Henry, who is on the autism spectrum. Sarah shares their story beginning in 2020 when Henry was facing significant dietary and behavioral challenges, leading to the diagnosis of ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and the placement of a feeding tube. Through collaborative efforts, including food sensitivity testing and nutritional adjustments, they observed remarkable improvements in Henry's health and behavior. Encouraged by her son's progress, Sarah founded 'Ready, Set, Grow' and a 'We Rock the Spectrum' inclusive play gym in Bristol, Tennessee, creating spaces for child-led therapy and inclusive play. Sarah's journey highlights the profound connection between nutrition, gut health, and behavioral outcomes in children with autism, showcasing the power of parental advocacy, professional guidance, and community support in navigating the challenges of autism and related conditions.
