Final #ARFID truth for #EDAW: What causes ARFID is still unknown, although some studies suggest that there could be a high genetic component. More research is needed. #NEDAW #EDAwareness #ARFIDawareness #EDAW2023

[ARFID-GEN Study @ARFIDGEN]

#ARFIDtruth #3: #ARFID affects people of all genders, ages, and weights. #Avoidantrestrictivefoodintakedisorder doesn't just occur in children and people of low weight - it affects people of all ages across the weight spectrum. #EDAW2023 #EDAW #EDawareness

[ARFID-GEN Study @ARFIDGEN]

#ARFID & #autism often co-occur. It's estimated that around 40% of people with autism have ARFID, and vice versa.
A recent study found that among 536 children with #ASD, 55% also had ARFID. Read our summary of the research article on our website: https://t.co/T3XTfNExq5

Do you deal with #pickyeating or have a child that does? UNC Chapel Hill is recruiting people all across the US with #selectiveeating, #foodaversion, and #ARFID for a research study. No medical diagnosis required. Visit https://t.co/xy3IMH1NoF to take our survey. @CRalphNearman

[ARFID-GEN Study @ARFIDGEN]

Today's #ARFID truth: Food restriction associated isn't motivated by weight & shape concerns. People with ARFID typically restrict because of disinterest in food, sensory aversions, or fear of GI problems like choking or stomach pain. #EDAW #edawareness #pickyeating

[ARFID-GEN Study @ARFIDGEN]

Not everyone with ARFID is underweight or experiences physical effects. #ARFID & extreme #pickyeating can have social consequences like #socialanxiety and isolation, missing out on events, & more. People with ARFID can experience physical effects, psychosocial effects, or both.

[ARFID-GEN Study @ARFIDGEN]

#ARFID & #extremepickyeating can have serious physical consequences including difficulty gaining/maintaining weight, nutritional deficiencies, & more.
