Why is Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) so hard to understand as a parent and for therapists, pediatricians, teachers, and people looking in on your child's life?

In this episode, I answer the following questions:

• My child doesn't seem Autistic, can they still be Pathologically Demand Avoidant (PDA)?
• My child seems typical some of the time, can they still be Pathologically Demand Avoidant (PDA)?
