This beautifully illustrated guide helps young people with
Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) to understand their diagnosis,
develop self-awareness and implement their own personalised
problem-solving strategies. Written in consultation with young
people with PDA and their families, this book recognises the
importance of handing control back to the young person, and that
there is no one-size-fits-all PDA profile. Readers are encouraged
to engage throughout with interactive writing, doodling and
checklist exercises to explore their own particular
characteristics, strengths and challenges. Me and My PDA is
sensitively tailored to the needs and experiences of young people
(aged 10+) with PDA. The guide is designed to grow with the reader,
and can be used for many years as the young person develops and
changes - making it invaluable to PDA-diagnosed individuals and
their families.

Schneider Family Book Award, Best Teen Honor Book 2020 Contemporary
fiction fans will find it hard to put down The Silence Between Us-a
YA novel that doesn't shy away from real-life issues including the
challenges faced by those in the Deaf culture, relationship
struggles, communication problems, and complicated families. Deaf
teen Maya moves across the country and must attend a hearing school
for the first time. As if that wasn't hard enough, she also has to
adjust to the hearing culture, which she finds frustrating. As Maya
looks past graduation and focuses on her future dreams, nothing,
not even an unexpected romance, will derail her pursuits or cause
her to question her own self worth. The Silence Between Us:
Features a Deaf protagonist and an #OwnVoices perspective on Deaf
and Hard of Hearing culture Is a clean YA romance by Wattpad
sensation Alison Gervais Is perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and
CeCe Bell Includes an interview with the author and a commentary on
cochlear implants by Alison "The Silence Between Us is eminently
un-put-down-able." (NPR) "Gervais deftly renders both the nuanced,
everyday realities of life with disability and Maya's fierce pride
in her Deafness, delivering a vibrant story that will resonate with
Deaf and hearing audiences alike." - Booklist "A solid addition to
middle/high school fiction that allows for deep discussion about
stereotypes concerning disabilities." School Library Journal "This
is a great YA contemporary (clean) romance that follows Maya as she
navigates a new school and plans for her future. The addition of
representation by a Deaf character was really beautifully done.
Highly recommend for people looking for a sweet, engaging, and
educational romantic read." (YA and Kids Book Central)
