Marcus returns as the only guest we’ve ever invited back to the podcast, and in this conversation, he opens up about his evolving understanding of neurodivergence — particularly through the lens of autism — and how that realization has reshaped his recovery from an eating disorder, his relationships, and his sense of self.

With honesty, nuance, and hard-won clarity, Marcus shares what it’s been like to recognize autistic traits later in life, to untangle years of masking, and to reframe behaviors that once felt like personal failings as natural responses to a world not built for his brain.

We talk about the overlap between autism and disordered eating, the tension between sensory overwhelm and nourishment, and the emotional weight of trying to function in social environments that feel confusing or unsafe.

This episode moves slowly and intentionally through themes of identity, regulation, emotional flooding, and the pressure to “get it right” in recovery. It’s a conversation for anyone who’s ever suspected that their struggles with food, emotion, or connection might be rooted in something deeper than what’s visible, and for anyone curious about the intersection of neurodivergence and healing.
