ARFID deniers are so uninformed

Saw this post today, was thinking how its quite relatable since i cant eat many things, even if i tried (dont have arfid but, i struggle with eating a lot of stuff).
But, once i opened the comments i feel SO PISSED BEYOND BELIEF. u get fucking diagonsed with this shit, its an eating disorder!!! im SO PISSED.

i did see some other things that ASD and ARFID do overlap so theres cases where people have austism and not ARFID. im not trying to spark anything though.

(ignore how i suck at attaching images)

eating disorders are still misunderstood by the general public. i don't know what it's like to struggle with arfid, but i have a hard time believing that people only eat chicken nuggies and get hospitalized for malnutrition just because "veggies icky".

ARFID deniers are wild. Feed them only maggot-infested meat and see how thet feel, because if my body doesn't want a food then that's basically what it is to me

The "Jesus u are so gay" comment made me giggle though. Guess we're gay now.

it blows my mind that people really spend their days on instagram reels like this. just letting themselves scroll through posts until they get so upset that they feel the need to publicly make mocking remarks about it. those people are also a "grown man btw" lol.
