2/2 so I think every once in a while I’m going to pop in here and share a photo I love. If anyone would like to reply with a photo that makes you smile, I’d love that!

Gorgeous! This was mine yesterday 😄

Love that more people seem to be joining the Bsky party! Here’s an old ‘firm favourite’ blog post of mine - what’s the difference between ODD and PDA?! Have you even heard of Oppositional Defiant Disorder or Pathological Demand Avoidance? www.stephstwogirls.co.uk/2016/05/the-...

Lovely unusual day out for me today - media training thanks to the Contact charity! I thought this was just for fun but turns out I still have a lot to say on the subject of PDA…

That’s a great idea. Getting out always helps, I find. And taking a snapshot of something that makes you smile! Here’s mine for today 🙂

Here’s what I thought of the Young Driver experience for our autistic 17 year old: www.stephstwogirls.co.uk/2024/09/youn... Thanks @youngdriveruk 👏🏻

Ha, he looks a bit like our cute one who is also fond of making a lot of noise to alert us to the fact he needs feeding (again) 😼

Feeling slightly excited, and nervous tonight. Have just booked a driving lesson for our 17 year old! Sounds pretty tame for most people, but for our girl, this will be a big step - if her anxiety lets her get there in the first place that is 🤞🏻

I’m new here so I guess a little introduction might help… I have been blogging about autism and the profile known as PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) for over 14 years, and this year our book PDA in the Family was published! 🙂 (maybe this affiliate link works?! amzn.to/4fA1wny)

Loved watching the men’s skateboarding today - hats off to the GB entrant, 51 year old Andy Macdonald 🤩
