ARFID is a lesser known (or at least, significantly less covered by media, if at all) eating disorder. Unlike the more known anorexia/bulimia, the underlying reason doesn’t have to do with body image/weight. It can be due to sensory reasons, lack of interest, or fear of trauma-related consequence (like choking, not weight-related). It has some correlation to ASD/ADHD due to sensory/med reasons.

I don’t eat a lot of food because the texture makes me want to vomit. I was diagnosed by an anxiety specialist and then did an online therapy program called Equip Health.
