ARFID - Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder - A Guide for Parents and Caregivers - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Unfortunately, there is little information and few specialized professionals who can deal with ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). I went through a long journey with my son until I found the right treatment and support. While searching for help, I was given a lot of bad advice.

I heard from some pediatricians that it was just a phase he would grow out of once he went to school; other doctors even suggested that it was my fault, that my son was spoiled and not well behaved. I heard from many people that he was ungrateful, and if we were poor, he wouldn’t be a picky eater.

We live in a society that, in its majority, still judges parents and caregivers without compassion or empathy, despite not understanding the realities of this condition. To break this taboo, we got together to write this book: a mother who knows what it is like to deal with her child’s eating difficulties, a doctor and two nutritionists, all three well-renowned professionals who offer their technical knowledge in an accessible language to all.

There are paths and treatments. There is hope. There is a cure!
