Pathological Demand Avoidance Explained

Many of these are relatable memes. However, the continuous use of “PDA avoidance” is really quite irritating when the A in PDA is avoidance - avoidance avoidance. Argh.

Loved reading this insight into PDA from a young age to adulthood. Easy for young PDAers to relate to. Fantastic work from Sally Cat 🐈 Well done on just telling it as it is using clear understandable illustrations

Thank you to the author for really showing me what is going on in my daughter’s head, and to a certain extent in mine too! Really opened my eyes. Such a clear, well thought out book.

I liked that it was simple and broken down Into categories. It did feel quite babyish however it helped me understand things in a different way.

Puts PDA into words that are easy to understand. I recognise a lot of the difficulties our grandson experiences. Can highly recommend this for those looking for an introduction to PDA

Helpful book. Easy to read, spot on. Helped me understand my husband better, on the road to hopefully getting adult autusm assessment. Love the illustrations in the book too.

Interesting slant on autism from an adult. Good insight into the unseen problems of someone who has learned to cope .

I was diagnosed as Autistic in 2019, I was 48. My 9 year old sons brain is so similar to mine and today I was discussing this with my Autism Consultant. The similarities we have in our neurodiversity, make being in lockdown together extremely challenging. My son is yet to be assessed, not for want of trying and referral, just for lack of understanding from professionals and my difficulties in expressing his difficulties. So today, the term PDA was mentioned to me...which led me to this book. It is simple but OMG it's powerful and quite simply will change, not just mine but my sons life. So thank you for writing this and I definitely recommend it! Such "me too" moments on every picture!
