Autism: Coconut Curry Shrimp and Rice
Autism Benefits: • Shrimp is rich in protein, vitamin B12, zinc, selenium, and iodine—nutrients essential for cognitive function, thyroid regulation, and immune support. Its soft texture is also well tolerated by sensory-sensitive eaters. • Coconut Milk provides medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may offer quick brain fuel, especially in individuals with mitochondrial or energy-processing differences. It’s also anti-inflammatory and dairy-free. • Curry Powder (mild) contains turmeric, which provides curcumin, a compound shown to reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Mild spices can support digestion and immunity in gentle amounts. • White Rice is easy to digest and provides quick energy without fiber that may irritate sensitive guts. It supports calm energy and balanced blood sugar when paired with protein and fat. • Zucchini or Spinach (cooked) offers magnesium, folate, and antioxidants. Cooked greens are gentler on digestion while still providing gut-brain supportive micronutrients.
