The following document has been written by a parent of a child already diagnosed with PDA and edited by Jane Sherwin (author of the book Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome – My Daughter is Not Naughty).
This family has been a great support for many families (like ours) and are active in their campaign for a better PDA awareness.
I wanted to include this as a separate blog (in order to obtain a bigger audience) as I want to focus on what can be achieved with the right support network behind the child. Â This document discusses strategies that their particular family have used, which may be insightful for others.
This parent is working on a separate piece to talk about siblings, which is something I am very much looking forward to reading. Â She also runs a support group in South Bucks, please contact PDAgroup@harveys-home.me.uk for further information.
Also, please contact me on email at daniellejatahall@yahoo.co.uk if you would like to tell your individual PDA story on this site (we will keep this anonymous) or you would like me to put it into words for you. Â I believe as many voices as we can together will have a positive impact.
Enjoy the read!
