What happens when the demands of everyday life feel like a threat to your very sense of self? In this eye-opening episode conducted via Zoom, I sit down with occupational therapist Sorcha Rice to unpack PDA—known as Pathological Demand Avoidance, but Sorcha reframes it as a Persistent Drive for Autonomy. With deep expertise and compassion, Sorcha talks us through how PDA shows up in real life, how schools and families can respond with empathy, and why language matters when supporting neurodivergent individuals. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or employer, this conversation offers powerful insights and practical tools for creating truly inclusive spaces.
