So I have ADHD and autism and I’ve always been a picky eater, but it was never really severe enough to warrant concern. Lately though, I’ve been going through cycles of hating the texture of all food and having zero appetite and I’ll basically put myself on a liquid diet. These cycles last about a week or two and I have to slowly reintroduce safe foods.
Here’s where I’m confused: when I’m in the middle of one of these cycles, it doesn’t cause me distress and I kind of forget about food and weight and it’s honestly pretty nice (minus the brain fog). But when I start eating again, I go back to body checking, doing cardio, and trying to lose weight
Is this adult AFRID or anorexia or a little of both?
