Ep. 17 - Why is Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) so Confusing? - Part I
Manage episode 357184364 series 3422058
Why is Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) so hard to understand as a parent and for therapists, pediatricians, teachers, and people looking in on your child's life?
In this episode, I answer the following questions:
- My child doesn't seem Autistic, can they still be Pathologically Demand Avoidant (PDA)?
- My child seems typical some of the time, can they still be Pathologically Demand Avoidant (PDA)?
