Have you ever felt like your body has too many puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit together? In this episode of An Autistic Girl and Her God, I’m diving deep into the world of co-occurring conditions that often walk hand-in-hand with Autism and other forms of neurodivergence.
We’ll unpack what it means to live with:
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) — and why we call ourselves “zebras”
POTS and Dysautonomia — when standing up feels like running a marathon
MCAS — the immune system that overreacts to everything
Celiac Disease — the autoimmune response to gluten that’s often missed
ARFID — when food becomes a battle due to fear or sensory overwhelm
Gastroparesis — a brief look at delayed digestion
Sleep Apnea — a commonly missed issue in neurodivergent and EDS bodies that affects energy, mood, and inflammation
This episode explores why these conditions overlap, how they feed into each other, and how you can start untangling the storm. You’ll also hear practical, functional medicine-style tips and tender encouragement rooted in faith — because you’re not too complicated for God to understand.
Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or trying to hold it all together in a body that feels fragile — this episode is for you.

You’ll leave with practical tools, hope for the journey, and a reminder that you are fully known and deeply loved by a God who never misunderstands you.
