Navigating PDA in America

This book introduces PDA—a profile of autism characterized by high anxiety manifesting as demand avoidance, social strategizing, and a persistent drive for autonomy—to North American audiences.

Co-authored by experts Diane Gould and Ruth Fidler, it provides practical strategies for parents, educators, and professionals to promote well-being in home, school, and therapy settings.

Drawing from real-world experience, it addresses challenges like everyday demands, school accommodations, and effective support compared to awareness in the UK and Australia.
