117 PDA + AuDHD

PDA is the Persistent Drive for Autonomy (community term), or pathological demand avoidance (clinical & pathologizing term). What happens when PDA, ADHD, and autism all overlap? Well... stress and relationship challenges!

Thankfully, everything that helped me feel more safe has also made my PDA more manageable. There are many approaches to build that safety.

This episode is a follow-up to the interview on PDA last week


Mentioned in episode:
  1. Book Low-Demand Parenting by Amanda Diekman (affiliate link)
  2. Last week's interview on PDA, and the podcast PDA: Resistance and Resilience
  3. Mattia's bday (or whenever) wish list


AuDHD Flourishing resources:
  1. Transcript Doc (often a few weeks behind, but we do catch up!)
  2. Mattia's Newsletter
  3. Like Your Brain community space (Patreon/Discord)
