Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)

#PathologicalDemandAvoidance (PDA) remains highly misunderstood both inside and outside of the #autism community. To mark PDA Day this year, our Head of Partnerships Nicole Hurley spoke to Clinical Psychologist Dr. Ramona Toscano and Clinical Psychology Registrar Madeleine Makinson at the Diverse Minds Psychology Clinic to better understand what PDA is and the support options available to people with a PDA profile and their families.
