Full description:
Is there any reason not to go vegan? Does being neurotypical make a transition to a plant-based diet easier? What are the misconceptions surrounding autism? How is empathy different between neurotypicals and those with autism? Why are so many people not vegan?
In this episode, we talk about the Autism, texture aversion, and a strong need for routine, and whether these are enough to stand in the way of going vegan.
It’s an interesting topic, and one that people often shy away from, but today on The Seitanist Podcast, I’m joined by Dana Andersen, who claims that her autism actually helped her go vegan. We’ll talk about how it helped her, some of the misconceptions surrounding autism, and veganism in general.
Of course, I know that not all autistic people are the same and that this is just one example, but I think it’s an incredibly important topic to talk about nonetheless.
