Fussy Eating, Selective Eating, ASD and ARFID
Fussy eating can be a normal part of a toddler's development. This for most toddlers can be temporary problem as the child's sensory system is developing. It often comes at a time when the toddler learns that they are their own person and can say 'no'. For other children and for many children with ASD, fussy eating can be a long term issue where selective eating practices can profoundly affect the quality of their diet. ARFID is now a recognised eating disorder. Children and Adults with ARFID have a dislike of certain foods, their diets are very limited and they tend to cut out whole food groups. They rely on supplements to meet their nutritional needs. People with ARFID are very anxious around new food. Regardless of the nature of the problem, management is both helpful and important.
