The PDA Society

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is widely understood to be a profile of autism. The PDA Society provides information, support and training about PDA for individuals, families and professionals - directly supporting 3000 people each year. We aim to increase acceptance and understanding of PDA, and to improve outcomes for individuals and families by focusing everyone involved on what helps. The PDA Society is run by a small team, all of whom have a direct connection with PDA.
