Food Refusal and Avoidant Eating in Children, including those with Autism Spectrum Conditions

I'm always trying to learn more about my daughter's eatting disorder and this was such a great read, very informative and some great ideas to try and discuss with her therapist.

Very informative

I'm a doctor specialized in child nutrition and this book is simply amazing. A must have for professionals and parents.

If you are just starting this journey with your child this is a good book. It has been a very helpful book and is easy to read and understand

I'm a speech-language pathologist and I bought this to work with my feeding therapy clients. Most of them have a sensory based issu. I take key poitns from this book to discuss with families. Thank you for writing this!

Part 2 of this book gave great advice for my non verbal 7 year old who only eats a few different foods. I highly recommend this book.

Great read

This book explains the issues we have had.

This is a book written by experts in a language you can understand. It is clear and comprehensive. It is great to read something by people who understand and explain how avoidant eating arises (and have some ideas how to slowly slowly move forward)

I am not often leaving the reviews but this is the one I must do.I just received it today and already red half. As a parent of child with ARFID we just found few weeks ago this is so helpful. It explains everything and give the clear idea of what and why your child might respond to food the way they are.It is written by professionals but also very clear and easy language so it is something you can read without being a specialist.The best buy in the past few months. MUST HAVE!!!

This is an excellent book for those with children who eat very restricted diets. If you have a 'picky eater' (and hate the term 'picky eater' because you know this pattern of eating goes way beyond a bit of fussiness) this is your book. It covers the developmental stages when a child is young as well as how to manage interventions to help your child, young and old, try and eat better. It also talks about avoidant restrictive food intake disorder which is in the DSM 5, but most nhs professionals are still unaware of. For the first time ever I feel someone actually understands and have some solid practical advice to follow instead of being told 'all kids are fussy at this age' or 'just feed them what you eat, they won't starve themselves' when you know they would happily choose to starve than face certain foods. Elizabeth Shea and Gillian Harris actually get it.

Bought for my daughter her son is autistic so I hope this will be of help to her

Really good book, easy to read and follow .Actually found it hard to put down. Explains a lot about my child’s behaviour .I would recommend this book for anyone who thinks their child has ARFID
