I thought I was just anorexic but I also found out I have ARFID (I’m autistic too) and it was struggle to figure out safe foods and such. But it does make it a little easier to manage! I used to call it “my body rejection disorder” when describing it

I have Ana and ARFID and it’s really hard to distinguish the two sometimes even in my own brain. I wish more providers understood ARFID
