Description

Although Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) has been a recognized autistic profile in the UK for some time, awareness is still growing in America.

When parents first learn about it they talk about having a lightbulb moment of understanding their child better.

Many described how, having found traditional parenting and behavioral techniques made things worse instead of better, they felt judged and alone.

Teachers and school administrators also reported struggling to support their PDA students.

The children, teens and young adults themselves were often left feeling misunderstood. The authors of this book explain PDA with an emphasis on promoting well-being both for PDA individuals and all those who support them.

They provide a neurodiversity-affirming framework for supporting anxious, demand avoidant individuals across a range of settings and services.

As awareness spreads across the pond, the compassion and clarity in this book will become a valuable guide to many.
