3 Types of ARFID

neuvillette headcanon: sigewinne doesn't just ask after neuvillette's health because she's worried, she asks because he has always struggled to maintain a healthy diet amidst his significant food aversion issues.

neuvillette struggles immensely with dry, thick, chewy, creamy, etc. food textures, and will usually reject them in favor of thin, watery options like light soups and juicy produce. unfortunately, these items aren't particularly calorie-dense, leading to nutritional deficits that always and inevitably catch up with the iudex.

bonus wriolette/neuvithesley headcanon: wriothesley sets his preference for barbecue aside while he learns to make sensory-friendly dishes that still fulfill neuvillette's nutritional needs.

People judge picky eaters a lot but, as a very picky eater, I’m endlessly frustrated by my limitations. When I vent about this, a lot of people respond with things as “just eat it, it might not be so bad” but I mean it when I say a lot of suggestions I have already tried.

I watch a lot of food videos and they all look so good, a lot of food smells amazing, but then I try it and the texture is a sensory nightmare and there’s too much flavour. I love being autistic but, if I was to change one thing, it would be that.

I have an eating disorder hasn’t ever been formally diagnosed cause when i was a kid doctors just kinda shrugged it off. I have ARFID which means i’m very particular around the foods i eat and I often won’t eat if everything seems like horrible sensory.

I often have a very low appetite naturally I don’t feel hungry I actually was on a medication to help that for a bit, our mother made us get off it cause she believed it was causing a drug interaction (it wasn’t our doctor said it was fine she just has a very bad untreated anxiety disorder).

I often forget I technically have an eating disorder cause it’s just how i am, I don’t eat enough it caused me to very small growing up. I was underweight until I was like 15, Testosterone did help our weight a lot cause before T we were barely in Normal weight. Still my appetite issues are still here.

Related to the disorder I have a lot of fear about throwing up and we do a lot, the medication we were on helped with that too. Damn maybe we should ask a doctor to re prescribe it to us now that we’re paying for our own medications.

Anyways back to the main point, despite having an eating disorder that affects my daily life I often feel bad saying I have an eating disorder as it’s not like serious. Okay it kinda is, my parents also made it extremely worse cause instead of just having me get an NJ or another feeding tube as a kid. They forced me to eat like physically would force us to eat which was extremely traumatizing as I was a very young child and didn’t know what was going on. Which caused my relationship with food to be even worse.

What I was trying to say is usually it is not as serious as Anorexia,Bulimia, and Binge Eating disorder. As unlike those there’s no body image issues, it’s literally just my brain going all food bad rather starve.

ARFID is really common in people with Autism and/or ADHD. Cause it’s based on sensory issues which are things people with neurodivergence tend to have.

My parents really didn’t know how to raise a neurodivergent child so instead of being caring, they were like my child’s having a meltdown again, yell at them to shut up and them it’s disrespectful to act that way.

I dont even fucking buy bread i just make it myself bc i know ill get it right. Where are my people who find this relatable?????

I wish more people knew about ARFID and how much it can affect you. As someone who has it, it’s so discouraging seeing people every now and then online (or irl) make fun of people for being “picky eaters” who see it as a sign of immaturity. It doesn’t matter how old and mature I get, that doesn’t make my sensory issues and lack of hunger cues from bad interoception somehow disappear.

If you know you have ARFID and you're not taking prenatal vitamins walk don't run tbh. Like idc what brand you use but for real too many autistic people are walking around malnourished and just raw dogging reality like your body isn't shutting down. Chronic anemia leads to organ failure. Vitamin d deficiencies can lead to schizophrenia.

If you feel like your body is shutting down it is.

Jon arfid headcanon: even before he acknowledged Martin as anything more than a nuisance, the tea Martin made was the only drink he could have that he didn't prepare himself. During season 2 he stopped drinking the tea because his paranoia got so bad that everything felt unsafe and he couldn't even eat outside his own home, but when he realized Martin had only been lying about his CV, his tea was the first thing to be accepted back into Jon's safe foods.

Some of yalls recipes make me hope someone in your life forces you into recovery because thats how fucking awful the recipes are. Like the fact that you have an ed AND you cant cook? Pick a struggle god damn theres a limited range of foods we can eat anyway.

(This is about arfid but if u have something else going on then its for you too ig)
