Have you been hearing a lot about pathological demand avoidance (PDA) lately? Are you wondering about information about this new occurrence?
The aide Canada website identifies demand avoidance was involving “the experience of having difficulty to do an action when requested or expected, and refers to responses made to avoid demands.” The site discusses demand avoidance in the context of neurodivergent students. It contains information about terminology, research, information and a toolkit to support families and professionals. The references at the end of the article provide references and links for further resource. Check out the site HERE
