While this topic is here Also see specialisms WITHIN Autism that are different to the mainstream Autism The one I know most about is PDA: Pathological Demand Avoidance [1] PDA presents differently and needs very different strategies to mainstream Autism. Main signs… kids under 12 attend school. However they explode at home or in private. At school the PDAers are masking (pretending to fit in) which is draining. When they get home the pent up frustration is released (explosively). So the family at home see a very different kid to the one that school/extended family witness. If this is an A-Ha! lightbulb moment for you or your child, see the questionnaire at the PDA Society[1] | ||
