It tends to affect people with ADHD, anxiety, OCD or autism.
It's an eating disorder where basically ur brain doesn't interpret most foods as, well...., foods. So u will have physical reactions to eating some stuff, like vomiting or gagging.
People with this disorder tend to have a narrow range of foods. And no this is not the same as picky eating. U cant make a child with ARFID eat a "non-safe" food, they have severe anxiety just by its smell and visual presence
