In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Pathways with Chris Anne Coviello, we sit down with multi-talented musician, writer, and healing guide Nefrit El-Or to explore the often overlooked intersections of adult autism diagnosis, eating disorders, creativity, and spiritual healing.

Nefrit shares her courageous journey through undiagnosed autism, her struggle with anorexia nervosa, and the profound impact of finally receiving an autism diagnosis as an adult—a revelation that transformed her path to recovery. Through the lens of her lived experience, she opens up about how music, meditation, and deep self-awareness became essential tools for reconnecting with her authentic self and reclaiming her inner voice.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone navigating neurodivergence, mental health, disordered eating, or a late-in-life diagnosis. We discuss the cultural invisibility of women and girls on the autism spectrum, the role of somatic practices, and how creativity can be both a mask and a medicine on the healing journey.
