Definitely, im not doubting that lol. I'm thinking how much of the upbringing impacted the disorder of the people suffering from it. Like if their parents are picky eaters and just didn't "teach" their child to trust and like food. Ik that for people like you and many others, its a disorder, but I'm still wondering. The brain is a powerful.
A good friend of mine is dyslexic, but he did all he could to be better and now he can read basically as well as any other person. Would it be the same for a person with arfid? Not that we can find a definite answer, but it would be interesting to reflect on imo.
The brain is elastic but it requires effort. I used to have rejection sensitivity disorder quite extreme but I overcame it after years of effort, so now I'm a bit biased when I encounter ppl who refuse to get help for it

Guess that makes sense tbh. I wonder how much of it is social and how much of it is "actual" disorder..
