When does “picky eating” become something more?

ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) can sometimes look like ordinary picky or fussy eating, particularly in children and neurodivergent young people. But when eating becomes increasingly restricted, causes significant anxiety or sensory distress, or begins to affect nutrition, growth or everyday life, it may be worth looking a little closer.

I currently have some availability for children, adolescents and adults experiencing ARFID and complex eating difficulties, with appointments available in Ivanhoe East and via telehealth.
