For Your Child’s Doctors (and everybody else)
I suggest you read these three articles as essential primers on ARFID in Autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
These three articles are written to also share with your child’s paediatrician, paediatric gastroenterologist (if they have one) and allied health team. They will also provide excellent background for grandparents, kindergartens, schools and others who might be supporting you and your child.
These three articles are designed to be read in the listed order (they are a mini-series).

The Outcomes of Untreated ARFID in Autism: Impact on Nutrition, Health & Psychiatry
