Jane Alison Sherwin's honest and uplifting account provides insight
into the challenges of bringing up a child with Pathological Demand
Avoidance (PDA). After years of misdiagnosis, Jane's daughter,
Mollie, was diagnosed with PDA at the age of seven, and we follow
her experiences pre and post diagnosis to age 10 as she attends
school, interacts with the outside world and approaches
adolescence. Throughout, Jane provides commentary on her daughter's
behaviour and the impact it has on her family, explaining the 'why'
of PDA traits, including the need for control, meltdowns, obsessive
behaviour and sensory issues. She reveals the strategies that have
worked for Mollie and provides essential advice and information on
obtaining a diagnosis and raising awareness of PDA. The book also
includes an interview with Mollie. Full of advice and support, and
with a focus on understanding the child and how he or she sees the
world, this book will be of immeasurable value to the parents and
families of children with PDA as well as the professionals working
with them, particularly teachers and teaching assistants, SEN
co-ordinators, psychologists, outreach workers and social workers.
