Description
This guide is written from the perspective of a playful panda who has Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and is proud of it. The panda explains the challenges and struggles of PDA, but also shares its own strengths and talents, such as climbing trees and bamboo, and finding joy in hiding in caves.
With honesty and positivity, the panda addresses the difficulties of PDA, but also shows how it can thrive in the right environment, with the right support. This book is a gentle and accessible introduction to PDA for young children, and is designed to be PDA-friendly.
By sharing its own experiences and insights, the panda helps to create a sense of understanding and acceptance, and shows that it is possible to live a happy and fulfilling life with PDA.
