How can I support my PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) child or teen to stay regulated? 🧐 Experiment with the 4 S’s: 👉Screens 👉Safe Nervous System (yours) 👉Special Interest 👉Sensory intense experience, dopamine or novelty This is the framework I use to think through unsctructured time with my PDA son and has helped 100s of parents think through everything from long weekends with their PDA child to beginning #unschooling after school refusal. I hope it serves you ❤️ . . . #pathologicaldema

I don’t believe Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and Extreme Anxiety are exactly the same thing. Thinking of them as the same can lead to different types of support and treatment (expsure, cognitive behavioral therapy, medication) which may not be the right approach for a PDA child or teen either right now or ever. 🩷 Not sure if your child is PDA? Our free 6-minute survey can help you figure it out. Comment “PDAQBeta” and we’ll send you the link. xoxo, Casey | At Peace Parents

My perspective is that demand avoidance in Autism and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) - or “Pervasive Drive for Autonomy” - are caused by different root causes. Understanding which root cause is at play (sensory vs. social communication differences vs. anxiety vs. a survival drive for autonomy and equality) will help you determine how to best support the neurodivergent child or teen 🩷 Not sure if your child is PDA?
