Jessica Thompson only ate chicken nuggets for a decade because she had a mysterious food phobia.
A ten-year-old girl who exclusively ate chicken nuggets has finally overcome a mysterious fear.
Jessica Thompson, 11, went off almost all food at the age of 18 months and spent the following ten years consuming just the chicken snack.
Her mother Julia Cain tells the media, “She would only eat chicken nuggets.
“She’d have three or four with fries, but usually didn’t finish it,” she added, “In her lunch box, she’d just have plain bread.”
Julia realized that her daughter was suffering from avoidant restricted food intake disorder when she sought therapy for the kid. Jessica would curl up in a ball to avoid food.
Thompson is now able to eat complete meals at her home in Swindon after working with a hypnotherapist.
According to her mother, “People don’t really understand that it is an illness, not just fussiness.”
