In this episode, PDA Society CEO Ed speaks with H Arlo-Harris – teacher, trainer and PDA adult – about what life is really like when you’re PDA. From discovering PDA through a word cloud on our website, to navigating internal demands, sensory overwhelm and social communication, H takes us beyond labels and into lived experience.With warmth, humour and clarity, H shares how PDA impacts their daily life, relationships and work, and how they’ve shaped a life that allows them to thrive. Whether you’re PDA yourself, love someone who is, or work with PDAers, this conversation offers practical insight and compassionate understanding.Deeper Dive Subscriber Episode For those who’d like to go further, Part 2, an exclusive “Deeper Dive” subscriber episode is available through our Training Hub.
