In this episode, Dr. Asher Larmie speaks with fellow weight inclusive GP Dr. Molly Moffat about creating safe feeding environments for neurodivergent children that goes beyond conventional nutrition rules. They explore how diet culture and neurotypical expectations harm autistic individuals, while sharing personal stories of parenting neurodivergent children and navigating healthcare as autistic doctors themselves. Dr. Moffat offers transformative insights on helping children develop healthy relationships with food by prioritizing emotional safety over nutritional perfectionism.
Molly works as an NHS GP and Doctor in Community Paediatrics, as well as a workshop facilitator for the social enterprise Body Happy Org. She is both neurodivergent herself and a parent to neurodivergent children. Molly offers support to families whose children experience feeding differences, and to adults who want to improve their relationship with food. She practices through a neurodiversity-affirming, weight inclusive lens celebrating both diversity of bodies and diversity of minds.
