Description
Jane Alison Sherwin's honest and uplifting account provides insight into the challenges of bringing up a child with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). Her daughter, Mollie, was diagnosed at age seven after years of misdiagnosis, and their experiences are followed from diagnosis to age 10.
The book offers commentary on Mollie's behaviour, explaining the 'why' behind PDA traits such as need for control, meltdowns, obsessive behaviour, and sensory issues. It also reveals strategies that have worked for Mollie and provides essential advice on obtaining a diagnosis and raising awareness of PDA.
With an interview with Mollie included, this book is full of practical advice and support, focusing on understanding the child's perspective and how they see the world. It will be invaluable to parents, families, and professionals working with children with PDA, including teachers, SEN co-ordinators, psychologists, outreach workers, and social workers.
