This book enters the relatively uncharted territory og pathological demand avoidance. PDA can be a tough journey for both a child and their family - and one not always supported by the system. With a foreword from Harry Thompson (The PDA Paradox) plus parent/carer notes from both the author and the PDA Society this book is offered as an observation, a reflection and at times a set of shared experiences. A few words from the PDA Society: 'This book offers an accessible, appealing insight into the much misunderstood PDA profile of autism, featuring our panda ambassador and a PANDA mnemonic for the approaches which are most helpful with PDA.'
