Embracing Neurodiversity: Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)
At Calder Psychology, we are proud to embrace a neurodiversity-affirming approach, celebrating the unique ways in which every brain is wired. Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is a profile within the autism spectrum, often characterized by an intense avoidance of everyday demands and expectations. This avoidance is typically driven by heightened anxiety and a profound need to maintain a sense of autonomy. Visit us at: https://www.calderpsychology.com/
