Listen "PDA and Grand-parenting a Child on the Spectrum"
Episode Synopsis
The term PDA stands for Pathological Demand Avoidance and it’s a proposed disorder on the spectrum that involves an extreme resistance to everyday demands.I had never heard the term before until my friend Karen Dorsey mentioned some struggles with her grandson. As she shared her story, my eyes were opened and I began to understand my youngest daughter’s behaviors in a way I never considered before. If you have a child that continually resists demand and you may have chalked it up as defiance, you don’t want to miss this episode. Full Spectrum Parent is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
