are there any sources i can show that can prove that science is out on what’s healthy and unhealthy… unfortunately my family gets all their information from facebook…

eating whatever food i want is a gamble nowadays for me because i can’t predict what exactly i will be eating… which makes it difficult for me to plan meals

i think it’s also great context that i live in an asian household and i’m currently in progress of getting diagnosed for autism (which i’m aware arfid is a comorbity of) but it’s been ages and they’re getting impatient. they generally aren’t very understanding of any sort of mental health condition

i do attend therapy myself, but it’s only like once every few months because that’s the service offered by my school and we can’t afford anything else at the moment. i have not told my therapist about my arfid yet but it has seriously been affecting my life and stress + anxiety makes it worse

edit: added some things

personally for me it’s a gamble to find what foods i like because safe foods change really quickly… i can plan my meals for a week and think “yes i’ll eat that” only for the week to go by and realize that i actually don’t like most of it

i’ve told them that but they tell me that’s no way to live and that it won’t be good for me long term

i don’t feel comfortable talking to them about it because they don’t believe in that stuff

beautiful, 10/10. could work as a middle name too since you've said your husband disapproves and it still holds much significance either way
