People with PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) struggle to do anything consistently. Over the past ten or even twelve years, I've tried so many times to make daily videos, and I've never managed to keep it up for more than a few days.

And yet I still dream that one day I'll figure out how to produce daily content. Every Day One I'm absolutely sure — this time it's different!

Attention! Despite promises made by the President of the United States, you can’t make your child autistic by taking painkillers. If you really want to have an autistic child, you’ll have to get them autistic parents.

Where do autistic children come from?

At this moment, I’m confused about where reality ends and where cinema begins. #Glastonbury

Great video — perfectly explains why you can’t trust any information coming out of Gaza.

In PDA, those swings are triggered — by demands, loss of control, or intense anxiety.A lot of women in their 30s and 40s carry labels like “bipolar” or “cyclothymia” — but no one ever checked for autism or PDA.

Why? Because many psychiatrists still have zero training in autism. Even fewer know what PDA is.

Therapy when you demand avoidant

Have you ever realized after the breakup that they were autistic too?

Therapy can be difficult for autistic and ADHD people. Especially if you’ve got PDA, pathological demand avoidance. Some of us can’t stand having weekly appointments and being expected to show up. Some hate talking about themselves on command.

Some just can’t easily agree with another person — even if they’re right. At some point, I started to feel sorry for my therapist. I noticed a pattern — she would say something, and I would ignore it. and three months later I will tell her that I have figured it out myself.

Then I found out: that’s just how PDA works. You have to run the idea through your system. Live with it. Tweak it. And you have to make it yours. I think she got it. At least she didn’t show if it hurt her. Well… not always. Anyway, do you even get what I’m talking about?

Just give me a reason for a side quest #adhd #procrastination #dogs

Ever since I realized that everyone around me is an undiagnosed autistic - with ADHD like me, or without - I haven’t been able to start a relationship with anyone. The thing is, autistic people are drawn to other autistic people, even without realizing it.

to think. It’s become really hard for me to talk to autistic people who don’t know they’re autistic. I just want to shove all my autism knowledge into their heads so they stop suffering and finally understand why they’re struggling.

That’s why I decided to make texts and videos about this - so more people understand what autism actually is, and maybe then I’ll finally be able to start a relationship.
