PDA Autistic profile (pathological demand avoidance or persistent drive for autonomy)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- This is an interview with my daughter to talk about her perspective on persistent drive for autonomy or PDA. This is classified as a subtype of Autism but it does not present itself as a typical Autistic profile. PDA type people are generally very creative, interested in equality and justice driven. They often are very independent at a young age and prefer and autodidact learning style.

❤ I think you are providing a great deal of help for people learning to understand their experiences 😊
Thank you!! I learned a lot from this conversation too!
That pile of snow behind you looks like a cloud landed on your veranda to have a little rest.
I am ready for the snow to leave for sure!
I wish I could . But it should not be forced by a group of any kind.
I am really not a fan of the premise build in to the statement. ( Pathological Demand Avoidance ) There is not a pathological in avoiding demands.
A reason for taking a different path can be found and understood for those who care to take the time to discover it.
Absolutely! Ugh . Pathological is such a horrible abelist word for it! Plus if we all just did what we were told or expected how would innovation and social change happen?
Please give your daughter my sympathy and thanks. That helped me a lot to get back to my own memories. Important material for my upcoming autism assessment.
I'd be thrilled to know: How would you type her MBTI?
I agree that it's impressive for a 10-year old to have these elaborate opinions.
I can relate to that ^^ and I think it helped and helps me. Because if I can connect a demand to one of my ethical convictions, it doesn't matter that much anymore that I have to do it. I decide to do so because I think it's a good idea. It justs happens to be the thing I was told to do.
Or like this, even better: Let's say I decide to do something out of a strong conviction, put a lot of energy in it - and fail. My conviction turns out to be misguided a bit (happened a lot ^^) but these experiences give me like a bank account full of money I can spend on being compliant, fulfilling demands and so on. It's like a big hole in the ground under the pile that just won't build up so fast anymore. Well, I don't think I need to fail for this. ^^ What I'm saying is, failing won't take away the value and the content coming from it.
Listening to you both talk made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Couldn't stop smiling for a while. =)
I am glad it helped you remember things for your assessment. I have lost a lot of childhood memories and my memory of my past is very fragmented likely due to how challenging being Autistic is in this world and in my family of origin. My daughter types as an INFP. I suspect that these MBTI neurotypes of intuitives mostly lay completely along the lines of neurodivergent and mostly Autistic types.
@@christinadonnelly781 Like behind a veil, I know that phenomenon. Haven't had the nicest upbringing myself. I only begin to understand in which ways my traumatic experiences and being autistic are connected.
I'm thinking a lot about how being autistic, an ADHDer, or an HSP, etc., correlates with MBTI types. I personally know and value several autistic INFJs, several hyperactive ESFPs, a non-autistic highly sensitive INTJ, but I also know an ISxJ who I suspect to be autistic and an ESTJ who is very, very likely autistic. And I'm quite sure about the ESTJ typing, they and I have an obvious Duality relation (socionics).
I had a feeling your daughter might be a fellow INFP. Have been thinking it might correlate with the PDA profile. On the other hand, when I told my ESTJ friend about finding the PDA concept, they were immediately like: If that's what you are, I'm that too!! And I somehow agree. ^^
