Ep. 27 - Is My Child PDA or Autistic with Demand Avoidance?
Listen now
Description
"Is my child Autistic with Demand Avoidance OR is my child PDA?" This is a question I get often from parents, so this is a free training to help you discern the answer that question for yourself. We will cover: Figuring out which "lens" is most helpful to support your unique child and the root cause of the behaviors you observe.Understanding that it is not an "either/or" or binary situation where PDA kids don't have social communication differences or that non-PDA autistic children and teens don't need autonomy and have sensitive nervous systems.Patterns I have observed that help you distinguish for yourself whether your child is PDA.Patterns I have observed among the 100s of parents I work with whose children or teens are indeed PDA.An invitation to take an experimental approach and collect data on *your* unique child. I hope it serves you! Warmly, Casey
