Should not need email #PDASpace with details of @BPSOfficial @NICEComms & recent PDA systematic review positions, suggesting they may wish to stop saying PDA is an ASD. Why would they currently view PDA as an ASD? @PDASociety @Autism

I will see what #PDASpace response to the email is before deciding if it needs to be added as another example of "PDA is an ASD" community not changing its position, i.e., being dogmatic.
Anyone want to take odds @PDASociety will be adding another example of "PDA is an ASD" supporters being dogmatic with its imminent monthly newsletter?
@ndhumanoid I am unsure it is necessarily twaddle. Those who identify/ or are diagnosed with PDA often do experience substantial issues around stress caused by aversive demands & do need be supported.
@ndhumanoid Simply because the evidence base is small & poor quality does not mean it is "twaddle". It does mean anyone advocating for PDA needs to making claims in line with the current evidence base, & update their practice to reflect evidence base.
@ndhumanoid I.e., stop claiming PDA is anything specific to autism, and start being more inclusive about PDA with non-autistic persons. Or at least what I would do.
The results should be seen as a warning to those who have built a career on notion "PDA is an ASD".
