Hannah and Toren both have ARFID. ❤️❤️❤️Hannah is 8 and was diagnosed at age 7. Toren is 16 and was diagnosed at age 6. ❤️ @myarfidlife & @toren.wolf Toren wore red to match Hannah!❤️ * Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a diagnosis that can be found in the DSM-5. Approximately 0.5%-5% of the general population have ARFID. * There are three types of ARFID: 1. Avoidant 2. Aversive 3. Restrictive * People can have more than one type, or a combination thereof.❤️ Although research on neurological conditions and eating disorders remains limited, studies have consistently found that people with various neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and intellectual differences, seem to be at a greater risk for developing eating disorders like ARFID. * Although up to 54% of individuals with ARFID are autistic, not every individual with a diagnosis of ARFID has a diagnosis of autism and vice versa. * Neurotypes and ARFID subtypes are factors to consider when discussing support and treatment plans. What may work for a neurotypical individual with a restrictive subtype will likely not work for an autistic individual with an avoidant subtype. * We hope that by sharing our journeys and information about ARFID, we may bring awareness to the diagnosis and acceptance of those with differences. * Resource: national eating disorders Association (www.nationaleatingdisorders.org) @nutella #arfid #autism #nutella #adhdtiktok
