Yea. Must dig deep into the origin of why x is presenting. Otherwise dx would not be accurate. The whole ‘child being difficult’ is so so wrong. A child who is seen by the adult lens this way is a child communicating sthg.

Absolutely agree. Not much has been published and spread yet about neurodivergent brains and attachment ‘differences’ vs disorders is finally being looked at as has previously been the wrong lens

PDA is essentially a nervous system based disability and the threat response is highly sensitive so if presented with demands and or perceived inequality to challenge to that equality the threat response is kicked off and the amygdala is in control… communication, motivation etc not accessible

‘Mind reading’ - the PDAer and autistic does tend to be super intuitive and highly sensitive and perceptive. Agreed!

Another huge issue with behaviourism and autism and PDA especially is that it is only able (and also only concerned with) the outward presentation. No diversity into the underlying origin of what presents. Major major flaw in design.
