Autistic teen’s ‘picky eating’ left her blind. 😔 ARFID is more than weight—it's about food variety & quality. Parents, trust your gut. If you're concerned, don’t stop pushing for answers. Early action matters! 💪 msn.com/en-gb/health/o…#ARFID#PickyEating#AutismAwareness

🚨 Weight isn't always a sign of a feeding disorder 🚨
Kids with "normal" weight can struggle with food selectivity and restriction. Growth charts don’t tell the full story. Dena Kelly, LPC, BCBA, BSL explains. #FeedingTherapy#ABA#ARFID#EarlyIntervention#FABA
Just like you wouldn’t let a child say “no” to brushing their teeth or crossing the street w/o holding hands, eating needs to be a non-negotiable.
Our Founder & CEO, Dena Kelly, explains in a @Forbes feature. #pickyeating#autism#feedingtherapyforbes.com/sites/forbeseq…
Fact #11... There is help for ARFID!
