Thanks a lot for sharing. I’m a play therapist and does have a few PDA clients, your podcast gives us insightful information and very helpful.

We are new to learning our son has PDA and we’ve felt so alone the past 5 years. Not believed. Scared. Sad. Exhausted. Unseen. Thank you for showing us we are not alone!

I have two kids with PDA and life is excruciating. Without having more knowledgeable people sharing their raw, true experience we would truly be more lost. Sincere thank you for your expertise but even more your honesty and transparency on this complex, heart wrenching condition.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. So much of the pod (ie almost all of it!) deeply resonates and reminds us that we’re not alone, other have shared experience and there’s strategies which help!

Only just finished episode 2, but can’t express how ‘heard’ I feel. The first 6 years with PDA, not knowing what it was and if my daughter had it has be so hard. I love the line, “when you don’t know what the truth is, you can’t live authentically”. That’s exactly how it feels right now....Read full review »

Thank you so much for this show. Please make more episodes! I am only on the first couple episodes and I feel so seen! This is my parenting journey too and it’s nice to hear I’m not the only one going through this.

This podcast is wonderful and so informative. My little guy has ASD1/ADHD/PDA. We need more of this. Will there be a season 2?
Coharie Tweety via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/23
Really happy to find this! I wish it was still active. I have a teen with PDA/ASD1. I’m pretty sure my brother and mother also have it. The trauma and struggle is deep

I have absolutely loved this podcast. My friend’s child has PDA and this has been so helpful. Please keep going! It’s so important. Hope all is well.

Thank you for this podcast. Your description of your children, particularly when they were babies match my experience with my eldest exactly. Finally I feel like someone believes me and sees me. -Shedding tears of recognition as I listen. - So hard to find other PDA families. Season 2 please!

Thank god for these podcasts and social media. As a parent I am on a rollercoaster of confusion, frustration and heartbreak with my son and another rollercoaster of emotion for the whole school situation. This podcast gives excellent insight, makes you realise you are not alone and gives you...Read full review »

This made me cry. Not with sadness but with absolutely relief that this fit with my child. Great podcast ladies. Thank you for putting this out for us to hear

My 12yr old PDA daughter and I are regrouping at the moment in relation to schooling. We’re giving up on trying to fit into the schooling system here in Melbourne, Australia and committing to home schooling instead. I’ve been resistant to it for so long but I’m now relieved at the prospect....Read full review »

I am so grateful to have found this podcast. Thank you for braving the cold to put this out to the world. I’m sitting by here crying tears of relief and gratitude listening to you! Thank you!
Small Business Owner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/22
This is an extraordinary and brilliant podcast. Being parents to a PDA child (and another Autistic child) is difficult and often lonely. It’s not widely understood. Listening to this podcast, it was as if the two wonderful presenters - Casey and Katie - had literally walked into our home! The...Read full review »

I’ve never felt so seen and understood! I have a 16 year old daughter with PDA (a very recent diagnosis) - and I used to hang on by the thinnest thread every single day when she was little! There are no words to describe it - and hearing you both truly describe it was amazing for me! BUT - I...Read full review »

Thank you SO much for opening up a normal and reassuring dialogue around PDA. It needs so much more exposure but this is a fantastic start, thank you Caitie & Casey. You guys rock x

This podcast has really helped. My daughter is 13yo and is undiagnosed pda. Our school experience is very challenging. School say it’s behavioural 🤯😭please record more episodes xx
pdaparent via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/31/21
Same, this has helped me so much to hear other people going through my lives experience with my son, thank you
Kellycrossuk via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/14/21
So lovely to hear people verbalising my family’s lived experience with a pda child… sometimes you feel so judged and isolated for the ‘low demand’ lifestyle you have to create in order to survive. Nice to know it’s not just me. Thanks for this.
pdamum via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/14/21
Wow. We recently got a diagnosis of ADHD and anxiety for our 5 year old, and someone mentioned PDA and I thought - no, that doesn’t apply because he does what we ask most of the time. However then someone else talked about other presentations and I came across this podcast and literally am having...Read full review »

This podcast is a beautiful look at the hard things. I’ve learned so much and recently listened to the first episode when the hosts described the infant stage. I cried with relief and joy (and probably PTSD) realizing my spouse and I weren’t the only ones having such an intense experience. This...Read full review »

Thankyou both for sharing your stories. I just needed to hear all of your experiences today, to remind me that my family and I are not alone in some of our survival Strategies. Phew! I’m so glad I have found your podcast. Thankyou for opening up to us. Vanessa, Melbourne, Australia.
Vnessmc via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/28/21
I am so grateful for this podcast. We have recently identified PDA as our 6 year old’s true diagnosis versus the ODD/ADHD diagnosis that we have tried to understand for 2 years. This podcast gives me good tips and makes us feel less alone.
Mom to Autistics via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/21
I just found this podcast and I am so amazed listening to you all talk like you have been spying on our home for the past 9 years! 🤣 It makes me feel so validated and so much better bc society wants us to think we are spoiling our children instead of accommodating and guiding them. Thank you!

What a life affirming podcast, hosted by two amazing mothers of PDA kids. Humbled by their knowledge, compassion and generosity.
Humblepyman via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/02/21
My son is 11. I have understood the PDA diagnosis since he was 9 but living in the US it’s hard to find specialists that understand. This podcast is beyond helpful. It feels so good to not feel alone. Thank you, thank you, thank you !

Yes
Thank you
Condorious via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/02/21
It was eerie listening to the first few episodes describing Cooper and Rose’s behaviors because it sounded like they were describing my son. I just learned about PDA a few days ago and am trying to learn all that I can. My 6 year old son has tried OT for SPD. He was recently diagnosed with ADHD...Read full review »

I feel seen/understood for the first time since I had my daughter nearly 4 years ago. Thanks for sharing your experiences to help other PDA parents

Such a great pod for parents like me in this similar situation who come across these challenges that most other people don’t understand.
ElleBizzle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/21
These mothers’ approach to understanding their children is an inspiration. I love hearing their honest conversations as they navigate what it means to parent children with this exceptional profile. Thank you for building this community!

As a friend of a PDA parent, i find this podcast so helpful to better understand my friend's day-to-day experience. The hosts strike a great balance between a well-researched and educated approach and discussing their lived experience.Read full review »

These mama’s are so compassionate and also so vulnerable and honest in sharing their experiences parenting their children with PDA.
Tinnaj009 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/21
I am loving this podcast. The hosts are so smart and empathetic and it really shines through. I am excited to hear more and I think it will really help many families with neurodivergent children.
Srarrrrrrrrr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/21
I’m so happy to have found this Podcast! My son does not have diagnosis but he’s got almost (if not all) all of the symptoms. The discussion about how their kids were as infants and very young children was so similar to my experience. It’s so nice to know I’m not alone and I look forward to...Read full review »
I'mMad! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/21
While my child does not have this diagnosis, and he was not diagnosed with ASD until age 13, the shadows of behaviors described by these two open hearted hosts resonated very deeply for me. Bits and bobs Were exactly the same as my child though not in extremis. It’s just so helpful to know there...Read full review »

I’m learning so much and PDA. What fun hosts!
GoAround4Fun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/21
Casey and Caitie are perfect for this. They bring such heart, humor, and realness to what it’s like to parent kiddos living with PDA. I’m looking forward to hearing more. Thank you both for sharing and creating community.
