Episode Synopsis

Send us a textAs a mother and social worker with a profound connection to the world of neurodiversity, Sarah's story is both a testament to personal strength and a guidebook for those navigating similar paths. She unpacks her journey from paramedic to social work, spurred by her son's autism diagnosis, and how this led her to identify and embrace her own neurodivergent traits, including PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance). Guiding us through the labyrinth of parenting twins with PDA, Sarah's candid revelations about the empowerment found in diagnosis and the advocacy needed in our communities suggest that the understanding of neurodiversity is not just a personal quest but a societal mandate. Raising PDA Kids https://raisingpda.com Declarative Language Cheat Sheet https://www.ourpdakids.com.au – For resources and research and service PDA Australia and NZ http://pdaanz.com danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services
