‘RHOC’ Star Emily Simpson Shares 10-Year-Old Son Has Rare Eating Disorder

In a new interview, Emily Simpson revealed the diagnosis of her 10 -year -old son Locke with a rare eating disorder.

The Pravo character revealed that Luke has been diagnosed with an arfid/restricted dining disorder (ARFID), a complex condition that goes beyond usual eating difficult to satisfy.

“He only eats some different foods and is overwhelmed by texture, color and odors,” Simpson explained to people. “He will only eat white rice. He must examine each piece of rice before eating it. So it exceeds eating it is difficult to satisfy. Many of the problems of control. It’s very overwhelming.”

Emily shared that for a long time, she believed that her son was just a selective eating, until the signs indicated something more dangerous. She said: “He was crying and telling me that he was starving, because he was, but he still refuses to eat anything I offered.” “As a mother, that was very frustrated. I didn’t know what to do.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic, ARFID is an eating disorder that causes a person to be avoided due to fears of suffocation, vomiting, or severe sensitivity in the color of food, texture, or smell. It can be severely limited to food income and leads to malnutrition or other health concerns. Options of cognitive behavioral therapy often include cognitive therapy and medications such as antidepressants or delicious stimulants.

Emily admitted that every day is still a challenge, but she learned to see the world through Locke’s eyes. “The smells are very overwhelming for him. The color is overwhelming. “So I must constantly mention myself that it does not work nervous as we do.”

I also moved to Instagram after publishing the article’s article, and thanked the fans for their support for support.

“First, thank you very much for your support, kindness and love for Luke,” I started. “This was so difficult the most difficult filming season” Rhoc “that I had at all, and there were several times I felt that Luke was for me to stop.”

She continued: “The reason for continuing at this difficult time was truly (in the actual time and on the camera) because I knew I was getting more answers, support and comments more than any therapist or doctor that could provide it.” “Bravo fans do not believe and take care of, and I was not wrong!”

Then Emily encouraged others to talk to their children about adopting differences and showing sympathy. “Please talk to your children about being gentle with children who may be a little different,” she added.

In a weak confession during the July 10 episode of “The Real Housewives of Orange County”, Emily Simpson revealed the severity of the challenges of eating Luke Locke.

“Luke has always been difficult to satisfy,” Emily explained, “but it reached the point during the past year as he did not eat at all.”

Two months before filming, the Bravo Luke star took a processor in the hope of obtaining answers. Then I learned that he “definitely” has arfid.

Emily told her husband, Shin, during a heart attack: “The nutritionist explained to me that he did not understand the feeling of hunger.” “Food, in general, is disgusting from it.”
