- What is it like raising a toddler with Pathological Demand Avoidance? In this video we continue our conversation about our experiences raising a toddler with PDA, and the signs that we started to pick up on that eventually led us to diagnosis.

Really enjoyed this one. Our boy is 7 and thinking back on his baby years sounds so much like your child. Nothing that other parents did worked for our child. Same with the sleeping and crying. If we would have left him to cry it out he would never have stopped. It just feels so validating to hear this from other parents. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you commenting, this means so much to us to hear and validates us doing this even more so. If these videos help just 1 person feel that way then it's done its job. It really does prove that we aren't alone in this. Thanks again
This was really insightful, so much like my 3 year old. Hard to find any videos or experiences on this, its so helpful especially regarding the parenting differences you know you just have to do but feel judged on. Thank you!
Hi Liana, apologies for the delay on replying. So glad you found the video useful, it means a lot to us. We found the same when we were trying to research PDA so we wanted to try and help others in a similar situation
Thank you for your videos, they're so helpful, and just to know there's other people out there who have had the same struggles makes it all feel a bit less lonely. We're going to look into having a private assessment for our daughter, as I think CAMHS seem to put everything down to parenting issues, rather than the child being neurodivergent.
I'm also waiting for my own assessments (waiting list is 3 years!!). It's very hard and exhausting at times
That means so much to us that you feel that way, that’s always been our goal, to help others in the same position as us. Yes unfortunately CAHMS don’t seem to have been helpful for anyone when it comes to PDA. Hope your private assessment goes well.
It so unfair that waiting lists are so long. And yet nowhere recognises you might have struggled without the piece of paper. So frustrating!
