Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is described as a profile of autism characterized by an overwhelming need for control and a resistance to demands, leading to significant challenges in social expectations.
The PDA Society highlights that traditional parenting methods often fail to support young people with PDA effectively, leading to a need for tailored strategies that recognize their unique profile.
PDA North America emphasizes that behaviors perceived as defiant are often misinterpretations of emotional responses from PDAers, stressing the importance of understanding the underlying stress-sensitive nature of their actions.
