Abstract
ARFID is a new diagnosis in need of better characterization. This study compares the diets of picky children with and without ARFID, including narrowness, inflexibility, and deficits in their diets. This characterization of preferences defines specific features of the ARFID population and will aid clinicians in diagnosing this disorder.
