Title: Understanding PDA in Kids: Demand Avoidance, Anxiety and the Drive for Autonomy (AuDHD/Autism)
If your child looks “fine” at school but falls apart at home, melts down over everyday expectations (homework, transitions, getting out the door) or is sliding into school refusal, this episode will help you make sense of what might be going on, especially when autism, AuDHD and anxiety are part of the picture.
On this episode of The ADHD Kids Can Thrive Podcast, host Kate Brownfield sits down with Diane Gould, founder of PDA North America and co-author of Navigating PDA in America, for a grounded, parent-friendly conversation about Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) (often reframed as a Pervasive Drive for Autonomy). Diane explains why PDA is best understood through a nervous system lens (not “defiance”), why many traditional behavior plans can backfire and what actually helps kids who experience everyday demands as a threat response.
