What helps you try new foods? (Food aversion / ARFID)

I’m currently studying dietetics, and I want to work with kids who have food aversion or ARFID. I’m autistic and also have ARFID myself, but I’d really like to hear other people’s personal stories in case it helps me in the future.

I think introducing new foods is just as important as it is challenging, so any tips, ideas, or experiences are really appreciated. Thank you for sharing :)
