"My daughter has a condition called ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder)," she wrote. "It means she has a very restricted diet, and it is very much connected to her ASD (autism spectrum disorder). I don't force her to eat certain things that are her 'unsafe foods.'" "It sounds like this gentleman is not educated on certain nutrition-related topics." Peter Burke is a lifestyle editor with Fox News Digital.
Ever since the girl's diagnosis, the mother said she's become "sure I might have it, too, but I cook for us both and am self-sufficient, so it doesn't bother me day to day enough to think about it."
