@Neurodiversit19 I think you comment about, who would like to employ someone with a "pathological" resistance to "ordinary" demands is probably valid. While we do not have data from work (off the top of my head, we do have some data from schools).
@Neurodiversit19 Some research indicates a PDA dx does not decrease exclusion rates and seems to raise number of informal exclusions.
@Neurodiversit19 "However, children with a diagnosis of Pathological Demand Avoidance did experience more informal exclusions (sometimes called “illegal exclusions”) than those autistic children who did not display extreme demand avoidance." Truman, 2019, p9)
@Neurodiversit19 I have taken this up with the researcher and said this is probably due to labeling effects, where people are locating issues in the CYP. The researcher disagreed.
@Neurodiversit19 Although, a similar process seems to happen with ODD, i.e., that persons locate issues within the person due to the diagnosis.

@Neurodiversit19 as I said, your critique is probably valid.
