[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is PDA? I have a child with autism and I’ve never heard this term before.[/quote] PDA is a type of behavior (pathological demand avoidance) that has become conflated with autism due to the deep opacity around the definition of autism in the dsm 5 and lack of other, better diagnoses. It’s a very real behavior but whether it is a diagnosis in and of itself is controversial, in part because a number of those who buy into it as a standalone classification believe that such extreme measures as removing allll demands (school/ hygiene/ nutrition as applicable) that stress the individual to be the only coa.
