[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP how much do you know about ADHD, Anxiety, and ASD? If I were you, I would be very careful about going down a PDA rabbit hole before I had a pretty solid understanding of the research on these three. PDA describes the behaviors of our teen who has ASD/ADHD diagnoses. It's been a long road.[/quote] We've had more than one Psychiatrist tell us they see PDA being used as a catchall label for behaviors by a certain segment practitioners. [/quote] Child therapist here who agrees with this. PDA is being used as a gentle avoidance of labels like ASD, ODD, etc. Furthermore it's not an actual diagnosis.[/quote]
