[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child is PDA (pathologically demand avoidant) which is commonly associated with autism. These are her attempts to gain control. Perhaps find a therapist if you believe she would engage with one, but going forward you will need to make adjustments that allow her feel that she has some say in the situation. This does not mean that you allow her to control family decisions, but you are very clear with plans and give choices like “we leave Friday morning— do you want to pack Wednesday night or Thursday afternoon?” “Do you want the window or aisle seat?” And other things that you are okay letting her choose, but drawing the line when you can see she is trying to control aspects that fall under parental domain. She is neurodivergent.[/quote] This - 100%[/quote]
