ARFID is a condition characterized by a very limited diet, not due to body image concerns, but because of a lack of interest in eating, avoidance based on sensory characteristics of food (such as texture, smell, taste, or appearance), or fear of aversive consequences like choking or vomiting. This book aims to make this information understandable and relatable to children, emphasizing empathy, understanding, and supportive behaviors.
Together, we hope to foster awareness and understanding around ARFID and sensory issues with food."
