This week’s live is directed at complications surrounding raising PDA kids alongside siblings (who may or may not be PDA as well!)

As a PDA parent with three PDA boys, Brook talks about:

Complaints of unfairness
Discerning if other siblings might also be PDA with a different presentation
Handling conflicts safely
Creating a culture of equity to diffuse tensions

In this episode I talk about how PDA can say or do shocking or provocative things when in distress. Many parents panic and feel ashamed, but I help break down how to best view these behaviours and help resolve them in a supportive way.

This is an ongoing project as part of a book I'm working on with SallyCat's PDA to help explain PDA behaviors in part through the lens of trauma.

We believe that the current understanding of Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn didn't encapsolate the range of behavior for PDA individuals, and that the realization will speak to how all humans react when they go trough trauma.

In this episode I try to tease apart different styles of demand avoidance.

How do we tell the difference between ADHD, PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) or autistic demand avoidance?

How does trauma or autism with EDA (extreme demand avoidance) fit into this conversation?

In my first ever episode I take time introducing myself and my experiences that contribute to what I do here with NoPressurePDA. I also share how PDA has personally impacted my life, and the ups and downs of trying to live without knowing my diagnosis. 

Finally I take some time trying to answer the question "What is PDA?" by reading through the description given by the current authority (The PDA Society, UK) and fleshing out that description with examples and some compare and contrast.
