Episode 9: Co-Occurring Conditions (Aka "The Trifecta")

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.

In this episode, we dive into the deep waters of communication, filters, Theory of Mind, and the painful experience of being misunderstood — especially for neurodivergent believers. Through real-life examples, biblical truth, and gentle encouragement, we explore how to honor who God made us to be while still growing in love and connection with others. 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.
