Welcome to another episode of the Diaries of a SEND parent. The podcast where I delve into the highs and lows of raising children with special educational needs and disabilities.
On today’s episode I speak with the beautiful Michelle from ARFID life UK. Michelle is a passionate advocate who is doing vital work in raising awareness around ARFID —
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder — a complex and often misunderstood eating disorder. Michelle speaks from personal and lived experience, as her own son Arlo has been diagnosed with the condition.
Together, we dive into what ARFID really is, how it impacts daily life, the challenges families face when seeking support, and the importance of compassion, education, and understanding.
Whether ARFID is part of your own journey, or you’re simply here to learn more, this conversation is honest, heartfelt, and truly eye-opening.
