PDA + ADHD parent coaching
Pathological Demand Avoidance and ADHD
Parenting your AuDHD (Autism + ADHD) PDA child is absolutely exhausting. It is draining the life out of you. Your child is aggressive, angry, and refuses to do pretty much anything. It feels like you are on pins and needles every moment of the day, and the backlash you receive for ‘getting it wrong’ is tremendous.
You have tried the low demand parenting approach, but it really isn’t helping. It feels like your child is in control of your every movement, and the looks you get from friends and family make you wonder if this way of handling issues is actually worth it. You are pretty sure it is the right approach- but it doesn’t seem like it is making a difference.
You’re ready to stop living in captivity, and regain some level of ‘control’ over your home. However, it is not really control that you are looking for- just mutual respect, and an understanding that you can do this together, but that sometimes things just need to be done. Demand avoidance is running and ruining your life, but we can shift that.
Parenting your AuDHD PDA child does not have to be so difficult and stressful. We can implement targeted brain-based solutions to help your child reach their full potential, while still honoring their demand avoidance and need for autonomy. If you are ready to take the next step in your PDA journey, reach out today and let’s get started.
