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.

  1. Book Low-Demand Parenting by Amanda Diekman (affiliate link)
