About this listen

A pervasive developmental disorder that is common in individuals on the autistic spectrum, pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is characterized by an avoidance of demand-framed requests by an individual and causes difficulties with social communication and interaction with others.

Listen to the Pathological Demand Avoidance audiobook and you’ll learn support structures and effective strategies to aid young children and adolescents with the condition.

This helped me understand the child with PDA and how to help them. Thank you!

Very useful

A concise, useful guide to PDA and other similar neurodiverse conditions. I could easily recognise my daughter from the behaviours identified, and the strategies for home and at school are useful and practical. A very accessible book.

A revelation

A brilliant listen for anyone that's new to PDA and autism in general. Now I know why the traditional forms of expectation for ASD wont work on PDA students. Why don't more authorities recognise this condition??!!

Brilliantly written

Factually incorrect in many areas.
Disappointing. Rather subscribe to PDA UK website for better information.

Out of date and incorrect research
