[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PDA is not even a legitimate diagnosis. [/quote] Parent of an ASD/ADHD teen who fits the PDA description. You are correct. And also, some of PDA lore is faddish (the catch phrase "low demand" comes to mind) and I predict that research will lead to refinement. And also, the DSM is not a perfect document handed down from on high. And also, some treatments (CBT, DBT, etc) work across multiple diagnoses. And also, with complicated cases, medical professionals make judgment calls. And also, having a description helps other types of professionals such as teachers, who need frameworks to understand certain students in order to foster progress rather than cause harm. [/quote]
