Brilliantly written

A brilliant listen for anyone that's new to PDA and autism in general. Now I know why the traditional forms of expectation for ASD wont work on PDA students. Why don't more authorities recognise this condition??!!

Out of date and incorrect research

Factually incorrect in many areas.
Disappointing. Rather subscribe to PDA UK website for better information.

A revelation

A concise, useful guide to PDA and other similar neurodiverse conditions. I could easily recognise my daughter from the behaviours identified, and the strategies for home and at school are useful and practical. A very accessible book.
