Hi there, thank you so much for sharing this. You are definitely not alone, and yes, there is help out there. ARFID can be very challenging, especially alongside autism, but many families do see progress with the right support.
Since you are in the Northwest, here are a few places to look into:
Walden Behavioral Care. They have clinicians experienced in ARFID and offer virtual support across many states.https://www.waldeneatingdisorders.com/
Center for Discovery. They provide therapy and nutrition support for ARFID, including virtual care.https://centerfordiscovery.com/locations/
Courage to Nourish. They offer therapy and dietitian support for ARFID and work virtually with clients in multiple states.https://couragetonourish.com/arfid/
Psychology Today directory. This can help you find local therapists who specifically list ARFID as a specialty.https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists
If you can share your specific state or city in the Northwest, I can help point you toward more targeted local options. You are doing an amazing job advocating for your son. Please know that support is available.
