Summary
Join Anna Kennedy on this compelling episode of Women’s Radio as she explores the challenging world of autism and mental health with two remarkable guests. Kelly, founder of Born Anxious and autism awareness clothing line, shares her journey from fostering care to creating a global community that spreads acceptance through fashion, while discovering her own neurodivergent identity. The conversation takes a deep dive into ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) with Corinne, a mother of three who navigates her own neurodivergent journey while raising autistic children. This powerful discussion unpacks the complexities of this serious eating disorder that affects up to 5% of the population but remains widely misunderstood, often mistaken for simple picky eating when it’s actually a fear-based condition linked to anxiety that can cause internal organ damage.
