Description
What is ARFID? Are there structural differences in the brains of children with ARFID symptoms? Does autism and ARFID share neuroanatomical similarities? All this and more answered as Dr. Clara Faria interviews Dr. Michelle Sader about her research into brain differences in children who show symptoms of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).

4. Are the neurobiological differences found in relation to ARFID present in other eating disorders?
5. Do autism and ARFID share neuroanatomical similarities?
6. Areas of future research on ARFID.
