653 reactions · 45 comments | ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a diagnosed eating disorder where fear, sensory differences, or past experiences make eating many foods feel unsafe. For some children, the list of “safe foods” is very small, and when one is gone, it matters. #ARFID #avoidantrestrictivefoodintakedisorder #autism #autistic #sensoryprocessing #arfidawareness | Autism Out Loud | Facebook

ARFID, (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) means there are a limited range of foods I will eat. I have added many foods in the last year and a half, and I am doing so much better! Eating out at restaurants used to be almost impossible for me, but I am getting more confident about ordering for myself, and advocating for what I need. ☺️💜💜💜 Sometimes I get a little embarrassed, though, especially at fancy restaurants, where I need to strip a menu item down. Can anyone relate?🤷🏻💜💜💜 #
