Ms Kathy Downes:

It might depend on the CAMHS service. I mean in terms of what it might accept in terms of mental health issues and perhaps autism may or may not come in under that umbrella. Avoidant and-or restrictive food intake disorder, ARFID, is relatively new as a diagnosis so it is probably experiencing the same issues that other eating disorders might have experienced ten or 20 years ago where it might be so recognised at a GP level. Therefore, in order to have psycho education and understanding then it is very important for us to provide same.
