Dehydrate fruit at home until all the water is gone. It’s much more palatable for people with sensory issues. Mix it with good things. Put it in a bowl next to the people who forget to eat. #autistictips #autism #sensory #arfid #autisticcuisine #pickyeaters

Gastroenterologists and rheumatologists should collaborate with dietitians, psychologists, and speech/swallow therapists to address both the physical and behavioral aspects of food restriction. #ARFID

I’m sooooooo sick of rice and potatoes. Lately I’ve been reacting to oatmeal/oats (heartburn), so cut those. No fodmaps bc OUCH. No gluten bc celiac. What’s left?

I'm trying to eat more #plantbased but my #ARFID means I struggle hard with vegetables. I can't handle the textures. So I made this recipe with my #Vitamix. There are veggies I have never once managed to eat in there! And it's GOOD! All it needs is protein pasta and some vegan parm. SO. STOKED.
I have #ARFID so this one is dedicated to that girl who lifts weights to The Crane Wives as an #ActuallyAutistic person who currently has to eat lunch. I don't remember your name please come remind me I love you

New #ARFID blog post is up. This time I'm discussing how I find new breakfast safe foods when I don't have access to my safe foods at home and how my partner supports me. I would love to hear how others experience this and get support from loved ones! 𑣲

Graphic from Autistic Girls Network about ARFID. A softly blurred image of a dining table set with plates, bowls and a hanging lamp appears in the background with a purple overlay. The text reads “ARFID” and “It’s not just picky eating.” At the bottom it says “Eating Disorders Awareness Week,” with the Autistic Girls Network logo in the lower right corner.
Blurred dining table background & purple overlay. Characteristics of ARFID: very limited range of foods; low appetite or lack of interest in food; strong avoidance of certain textures, smells, or temperatures; fear of choking, vomiting, or contamination; weight changes; not driven by body image concerns; and high anxiety at mealtimes, avoidance of social gatherings involving food, and difficulty eating with others. “Eating Disorders Awareness Week”
For many autistic girls, eating challenges are about sensory overload, anxiety, predictability and feeling safe, not weight or appearance. When support doesn’t “get it,” it can feel isolating. You’re not alone. Join our Facebook groyp for lived-experience support & understanding. #ARFID #EDAW2026
Ik dacht laatst nog: als deze tandpasta uit de handel gaat of ze veranderen het recept, dan ben ik mooi de sjaak.
Dat soort dingen moet je dus niet denken! Nooit! Niet in de verste verte.

Tomorrow (Feb 23 to March 1) is Eating Disorder aware week starting. I feel that the eating disorder called ARFID need to increase in awareness. #ARFID is one of type of #eatingdisorder known as Avoidant Restriction Food Intake Disorder
I can attest, Jason and OT are the real deal for rewiring and reconnecting the mind and body. Unbelievably game changing for #FND, #ARFID, #OCD and neurodivergence. I definitely don't want to miss this talk March 7th.
Yes I have #ARFID lol
I only occasionally eat vegetables and that's when I have to psych myself up and eat them as fast as I can.
Now I've decided I'm only going to drink my veg, so I can gulp it down hyperfast.
Sweet Baby Ray’s beef jerky is one of THE BEST safe foods for us to fall back on when we’re in an #ARFID spiral and desperately needing sustenance!
Grateful AF for jerky that our teeth can handle! 😭
We finally have a stummy that’s not collapsing in on itself!
I think we want pizza? 🤔
Trying to figure out what to eat during an #ARFID spiral is a fucking bitch.
But goddammit, we’re dropping weight again! 😰
If our stummy and appetite could just have some peace talks over some nice food, plz?!?!
That’d be greeeeeeaaaaaaat

I got the Brain Center results.
#ADHD inattentive type, chronic #PTSD, #bipolar, #eatingdisorder ( #ARFID specifically), #POTs, #traumaticBrainInjuries, #narcolepsy...
All of it there on paper.
Sometimes I go so hard eating a food I like that my brain just randomly says "no" and all of a sudden I start getting the gag reflex and I hate that food forever. Turns out this is a thing and it may be related to #ASD, stress, anxiety, or extreme tiredness, which tracks #mood #anxiety #ARFID
Born to be a healthy #vegan forced to be a #neurodivergent #arfid vegan 😔✌🏻💚
