Autism: Turkey and Avocado Lettuce Wraps
Autism Benefits: • Nitrate-Free Turkey is a clean source of high-quality protein and contains tryptophan, which supports serotonin production—important for mood regulation and sleep. Avoiding nitrates reduces the risk of behavioral sensitivities or histamine reactions in sensitive individuals. • Butter Lettuce is mild, hydrating, and easy to chew, making it ideal for sensory-sensitive eaters. It contains small amounts of folate and antioxidants that support brain and gut health. • Avocado provides brain-nourishing monounsaturated fats, fiber, and potassium. Healthy fats are essential for the development and function of the nervous system. • Olive Oil or Tahini (optional) adds extra healthy fats and anti-inflammatory compounds. Tahini is also rich in calcium and magnesium, which help with calming and focus.
