In this episode we’re chatting with Christine MacInnis (LMFT) about some of the challenges parents of PDAers face when looking for support. Being a parent of a PDAer can be an isolating experience - from the lack of support, the stress of not being believed, and the pressures to conform to potentially harmful practices. In this episode we look at some of the ways parents can access support, and how to recognise PDA-affirming therapeutic practice.If you need help and information about PDA, contact our <a href="https://www.pdasociety.org.uk/support-and-training/support/">support service</a> today.Guest links: <a href="http://www.theneurodivergentwhisperer.com/">www.theneurodivergentwhisperer.com</a>

Finding therapeutic support as a PDA parent

Welcome to the PDA Society’s podcast, where we explore all things PDA to help make life easier for PDAers, their families, and everyone affected by demand avoidance. Research suggests PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) is a profile of autism, meaning individuals share similar strengths and challenges. A key feature of PDA is extreme demand avoidance – finding it hard or impossible to complete everyday tasks, even those they want to do. PDAers often use social strategies to manage demands, form deep connections with safe people, and experience strong emotions. Join us as we dive into PDA together!If any of the issues in today’s podcast affected you or you’d like to learn more, please visit our website for help and information on: <a href="https://www.pdasociety.org.uk/">www.pdasociety.org.uk</a>
