Video Description
I recently saw a video that touched on pathological demand avoidance, also commonly referred to as PDA. Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is a pattern of behavior in which we go to extremes to ignore or avoid anything they perceive as a demand. Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is most often seen in people with autism, but certain traits also have been seen with people with ADHD and other sensory processing disorders. In this video I will talk about what PDA is, why it's often searched with ADHD and autism, strategies that can help those with pathological demand avoidance, and what it's like living with PDA. Do you or someone you know live with PDA? Share about your experience in the comments. Here are some signs you might have PDA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uq1n8UQ3hc What is high functioning autism? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxpEQY-yiOk Misunderstandings about autism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVCjTpZl98Y 0:30: 🧠 Understanding the challenges of Pathological Demand Avoidance in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. 4:11: 💡 Understanding the challenges of individuals with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) 8:24: 🧠 Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance and its impact on individuals with sensory processing challenges. 12:59: ⚙️ Strategies to cope with PDA: reverse psychology, preemptive actions, role-playing as a character. 16:23: 🧠 Understanding and managing pathological demand avoidance through creative strategies and autonomy.
