My boy is so thoughtful on Valentine’s Day. Cards and pressies for us all 💕 He may find it difficult to tell us he loves us in words, but he certainly shows it in other ways 😍 #pathologicaldemandavoidance #autism

Mutual #support from others in the same boat is such a lifeline for many in the #PDA world, a big shout out to all who run support groups face to face and online. To find a group in see pdasociety.org.uk/resources/… and pdasociety.org.uk/resources/… #support #pathologicaldemandavoidance teapawt.net/littleboyofmine/status…

Had a lovely evening out with our local PDA support group. Means so much to be able to talk to other parents that understand what you’re going through and just ‘get it’. I’d be lost without their support and friendship. #pda #asd #autism

School refusal is such a hard issue for parents to deal with. For a child with SEN greater understanding into the cause behind the refusal should be given. thislittleboyofmine.com/blog…

#notesonpda are running an A-Z of PDA. Here are 3 challenges we can identify with, every single day, more than once. Hope it helps explain why we're late for school, why I have to help dress a 12 Yr old, allow him to eat where and when he wants, when sometimes with help.

My little boy is very lucky to have such a fantastic sister and brother, but we do appreciate that life is not easy for them having a little brother with PDA. Today is Young Carers Awareness day so I just wanted to thank them both for all their love, support and understanding. teapawt.net/pdasociety/status/9564…

Last year I wrote this post on meltdowns. 9 months on and the aggression that my boy displays during a meltdown is getting stronger. One small trigger can provoke anger and upset. His mood can change in an instant. #pda #autism thislittleboyofmine.com/blog…

So my rollercoaster of a boy is back in school this week - arriving on time, getting all of his targets, eating cooked lunch in the hall (the reason for school refusal last week) and generally having a very good week! I can’t keep up 😄 #pda #autism

I’m truly amazed how the fight for your child never stops, even when you think that you finally have the right support. It’s exhausting. So wrong too when a minor, easily resolvable, issue is made into a major problem resulting in school refusal. #pda #autism

The anxieties that PDA children face with change are often overlooked. My son’s school have changed his lunchtime arrangement and it is causing him such high anxiety that he is currently school refusing 😔 #PDA #ASD #schoolrefusal
