PDA and Autism: Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance | Steph Curtis

PDA and Autism: Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance | Steph Curtis

In episode 3 of season 2, Guy is joined by Steph Curtis, creator of the popular platform Steph’s Two Girls and author of PDA in the Family.

In this episode, Guy and Steph discuss Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), a profile on the autism spectrum characterised by an intense resistance to everyday demands triggered by anxiety.

Steph shares her personal 16-year journey raising two autistic daughters and offers invaluable, practical insights into looking beyond a child's behaviour to understand what they are truly trying to communicate.
