@KristyForbes15 I was wondering if you knew that it is demonstrably true that PDA is not part of the autism spectrum?
Or that PDA does not conform to accepted autism understandings?
@kirstyforbes15
Or that PDA can be described as new type of mental disorder, and that PDA is also seen in non-autistic persons?

That do you know that arguments arounds PDA's clinical use are also applicable to non-autistic persons with PDA and lower diagnostic threshold's?

I would also mention that surely if many PDAer adults are living happy and independent lives, then how can they have PDA?
It contradicts how PDA is meant to be pervasive. Some argue demand avoidance is often illogical & crippling.

You are technically correct about significant disagreement over PDA's name, & its "pathological" descriptor. Did you know that even Newson expressed dislike for the name?

I would also add that there are ethical concerns for forming an identity around PDA considering the premature decision to view PDA as an ASD. Also lack consideration of perspectives of non-autistic persons with PDA.

I would say it is interesting that you say it is not always a choice to display the demand avoidance. The fact that it is noted it is a choose sometimes, directly contradicts some clinical accounts of PDA...

If a PDA's brain acts like someone has experiences trauma, then that raises the question that PDA etiology is routed in trauma. Thus cannot be autism.
There is already a good case PDA is a trauma/ distress response

You discuss PDA being from early life. The literature does not require to be from early life, or developmental in nature.

For one persons can transition into under transactional accounts. Clinicians state people can transition into PDA, including Newson, Wing and Gould. Developmental traits are not essential for a PDA diagnosis.

Interesting point about misunderstanding & labelling of PDA actions, I would point out it is good practice to work with individuals and to place CYP/ adult in control

PDA is not a formal diagnosis, that is diagnosed alongside autism. PDA cane be diagnose it as a standalone diagnosis, there are examples of this in the PDA literature. Such as
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
&

Advocating for PDA to be diagnosed as a dual diagnosis with autism, ignores the rights of non-autistic persons with PDA. Views them as non-entities. Disregards autistic wishes for autism not to be subdivided.

I would point out accepting PDA exists in non-autistic persons, and advocating for their rights is inline with neurodiversity perspectives, as neurodiversity is about inclusion of others.
