About this listen
Create the right diet to support your child with autism or other neurodevelopmental delays through this step-by-step guide to optimal nutrition for their unique needs.
If your child with autism spectrum disorder struggles with common symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, stimming, or gastrointestinal upset, you are not alone—and you are not powerless to help.
This groundbreaking book offers the first personalized approach to help improve these disruptive symptoms through your child’s diet, supplying you with the information and resources you need to holistically help them thrive.
Certified nutrition consultant Julie Matthews pairs more than 20 years of clinical experience with practical advice and an attainable and adaptable 12-step plan for effectively addressing the symptoms of autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, ADD, Tourette’s syndrome, Down syndrome, learning delays, anxiety, aggression, and defiant disorders.
Matthews illustrates the underlying biochemical factors that cause these symptoms, and explains how therapeutic diets and nutritional supplements can have profound benefits for your child’s body and brain. This scientifically proven program includes:
- Common and impactful diets to implement
- Adjustable daily meal plan ideas for each diet
- Detailed lists of key foods and nutritional supplements
- 50 nourishing and picky eater-approved recipes
- Symptom questionnaires for determining the right diet
Just as every child with autism spectrum disorder is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all diet recommendation. The Personalized Autism Nutrition Plan is tailored yet flexible, empowering you with tools to drastically improve your child’s well-being and help them thrive—with food as medicine.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
In this first-of-its-kind book, Sol Smith combines current research, his personal experience as a late-diagnosed autistic adult, and lessons learned as an educator to show how you can transcend common mischaracterizations, overcome shame, and gain the skills to flourish. Sol knows that neurodivergent people often feel that nothing they have been taught relates to how they experience the world.

He advises the opposite: Understand yourself, accept yourself, and reduce conflict.
