#Also also people with ARFID are way more likely to develop anorexia or bulmia

[himba-va-lele]

Really really sick of ARFID being treated as "adult picky eater" or "extreme picky eater" as if it's not a fucking eating disorder. That autistic kid isn't being difficult by only eating a certain brand of cereal and that anxious adult isn't being ridiculous by refusing to eat anything green. They literally have an EATING DISORDER.

If I see one more post thats like "um yeah well I'm autistic and I got over being a picky eater. Man up and stop having a toddler palate 💖" well I'm sure most of these people would love to (I know I would) but we have a FUCK.ING EAT.ING DIS.ORD.ER that people have DIED FROM.

Stop acting like we're being difficult or narrow-minded or 'uncultured'.
