This is awesome. Thankyou @PDASociety

Demand avoidance is a natural human trait but for those with a #PDA profile of autism it has such a pervasive & extreme impact, it's described as being pathological. This video shares experiences of CYP & adults to raise awareness of how PDA can present youtu.be/CCsfKxyuH1I

Sorry I couldn’t come today. Charity climbing event for @emmaussuffolk but see you at @SENShowUK

October 9th 2020 for next year. Still a Friday, but sure you'd find it an interesting day out.

Outstanding job by the @EcoverUK team on this innovation. Visited @waitrose in Oxford to see it in action. Very proud of the team!

Wow...starting to wander into overwhelm at @TheAutismShow . So many amazing people with such passion. Lovely to see Harry...now trying to find @sallycatPDA - which will be tough as I don’t know what she looks like. Sallyyyyu??!!?!?? Maybe @SENBooks will know....

Yes! This! From receptionists to lunchtime staff to transport workers. Everyone in the day can make a difference #SENexchange #PDA

Really important all staff have awareness, not just those working directly with the child #SENexchange



I’d say the biggest challenge is the misunderstanding. My son is rude and aggressive. But his rudeness and aggression masks anxiety and when you stop treating him as rude and aggressive he is far less so! Ergo....😊#SENexchange #PDA


#SENexchange the biggest impact for me re Q5 was simply the fact that I started to understand the difference between No I won’t and No I simply can’t - and as a parent or carer that changes your attitude immensely. #PDA
