This is my experience, as an
#autistic,
#ADHD person with a PDA profile. (pathological demand avoidance, or persistent drive for autonomy)💚 PDA is not listed as a separate diagnosis in the DSM-5, but it is being utilized by doctors who may use the term, "PDA profile" to describe the pattern of behaviors, often in autistic people. My doctor listed it in my official diagnosis.💚💜 My friend @sienna.stims is very knowledgeable on the subject, and has some lovely posts about it on IG, if you would like to learn more about
#pda. ❤️
