[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People keep trying to make pda happen but in its current form it is so weird and honestly toxic. If you join any of the parent groups you’ll see they all use it as an excuse to literally let their kid avoid everything based on this theory - you have kids not going to school ever, not leaving the house etc etc. needs better definition [/quote]

We know a family who has labeled their child this without ever having properly parented them. They never say no to the child, let them get out of any uncomfortable situation. I’m not even a very strict parent and I see how much damage they’ve done to them. We are close neighbors and have been for years and have known the kid since they were very small. I feel sad for the family. While I do assume that this diagnosis does exist for some, I don’t think it’s the case for them. [/quote]

You are not an expert, you only have an opinion. You have no idea what people are dealing with behind closed doors. I'm sure people would say similar things about your SN child (assuming you are not just trolling)[/quote]

Not trolling. And we have spent many many many hours with this family over the years. They are the most permissive parents I’ve ever met. The kid wasn’t always like this, they have grown into this behavior. Also I've been alone with the kid and they’re completely fine with me, even doing non preferred activities. I know I’m not an expert, but I know what I’ve seen. [/quote]

I believe you. I’ve seen a similar situation with my own eyes, including tolerating violent behavior. The parent believes sincerely that any form of discipline makes children feel unsafe. This resulted in a divorce and abuse allegations against other parent for imposing totally normal discipline. [/quote]
