There is much debate and controversy surrounding PDA with some arguing it is a subgroup and part of the autism profile and others querying its value and validity. Some autistic adults use the term Rational Demand Avoidance to highlight the fact that often autistic people are asked to meet demands which are unreasonable, irrelevant and inappropriate, and are thus avoided. Other professionals in the field believe there are some children who are qualitatively different from autistic children and who require and respond to a different approach. As yet, PDA is not included as a separate diagnostic category in the diagnostic manuals and research is ongoing to determine whether there are sufficient and distinct differences for a separate diagnostic category to be developed
