The Insider Guide to PDA - Brook Madera

"Don''t tell me what to do" - everyone''s said it (or thought it!), but for the PDA brain it''s a tenet that makes everyday tasks a constant challenge. Whether it''s a request from a friend or a social expectation to do something, pathological demand avoidance can throw a bucket of ice water on your motivation, or create anxiety that builds up and boils over as a meltdown. In this essential primer, PDAers Sally Cat and Brook Madera explain what PDA is, how it manifests, and what you can do to minimise its impact. They explore its interaction with other forms of neurodivergence, potential misdiagnosis as a multitude of other conditions and disorders, and how it actually feels in reality. They also highlight the positives of PDA life, as shared by other PDAers and their loved ones. Whether you''re a PDAer yourself, or know one and want to support them, this Insider Guide will help you understand what PDA is and how to live with it.
