[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fifth type in my opinion. PDA along with Level 1 ASD, ADHD, and anxiety. [/quote]

This is my kid.  It’s such a hard type to parent. I’m at a loss regarding what to do. Any thoughts?[/quote]I wish it were recognized because it's so hard to get providers to understand our children. When someone tells me their child is PDA, I just get it. They don't have to tell me Level 1 ASD, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, gifted, NT passing but needs lots of support, etc. It would be so much easier to communicate with providers, schools, and other parents if it had the recognition it deserves. We're still walking the tight rope of lower demands, offering choices, using declarative language but also imposing logical consequences for behavior that is truly destructive or hurtful. I can appreciate the perspective of PDA podcasters, but I am really frustrated by the lack of guidance about how to impose consequences that are fair, consistent, and don't trigger the PDA response. You can't just not discipline your child. I'm very interested to see the outcome of this low-demand parenting as most of these podcasters have minor children.[/quote]

One of my asd kids is pda. I gave him zero consequences except when his actions effected his sibling.  Hes doing great- in college, in a stable relationship.  [/quote]

How did that work? like he didn’t take out the trash and you just said ok and did it yourself? He swore or hit you and you let it go? He watched TV instead of homework? [/quote]

Pretty much, without the hysterical gibberish you threw in there.

If he didn't take out the trash when I asked him to I just did it later. I greatly valued peace and low stress over "winning!!"
As I said, he's a college student in a stable relationship.  Hes working towards an advanced degree. I expect he won't be taking fhe trash out when he gets married ans I expect his partner who also seems to have pda won't either.  Luckily removing the petty demands allowed him to thrive and focus on what he was interested in ans I expect he'll be hiring someone else to take his thrash out. Maybe it will be one of the maladjusted kids who's parents insisted on dominating their children.

As for hitting- if thats what goes on in your home i suggest you seek help for your child  pronto. Parent training or antipsychotics [/quote]

Wow ok. Good luck. [/quote]
