Nourishing Neurodiversity is a cookbook created by autism advocate and eating disorder survivor Livia Sara. For years, Livia struggled with food as an eating disorder masked her undiagnosed autism.

On her journey to find freedom, Livia found solace in the kitchen. Learning to nourish both her body and mind by embracing her unique preferences gave Livia a newfound appreciation for food - this book illustrates that passion! 

Filled with simple recipes, mental health information, gut health tips, and tools on how to improve executive functioning, Nourishing Neurodiversity connects holistic nutrition with personal preferences.
