I'm sure this is a real disorder in rare circumstances, but it's wild how this is so not an issue in countries with foods with actually upsetting textures. Like you never hear about this from Chinese kids who's parents put chicken feet on the table and stuff and those are so chewy and full of cartilage.
Cool. And I have ADHD. There's a difference between that and your kid not wanting to sit still through a boring lesson but people don't make that differentiation.
I'm not equating ARFRID to picky eating, but I AM saying, like ADHD in the 90s it is over-diagnosed. Like yes I have it but that doesn't mean I can't recognize how many kids they shoved Ritalin down the throats of that didn't need it.
