product description

Description

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is one of the most misunderstood profiles on the autism spectrum - but this book changes that.

The PDA Effect is a compelling and essential guide written by 18-year-old Ethan Knight, an autistic author from Kent, UK. Ethan has overcome immense personal challenges to share his lived experience of PDA - from the inside out.

With honesty, clarity, and compassion, Ethan explores how PDA affects decision-making, daily routines, and friendships, and explains what actually helps. His words offer rare insight for parents, teachers, support workers, and autistic readers alike, bringing understanding to a condition that is often misjudged or overlooked.

To make this book even more practical and personal, we've included space after each chapter for readers to take notes or highlight what resonates. Ethan encourages those who, like him, struggle to communicate their needs to use these pages to help trusted adults better understand where support is needed.

Whether you're just beginning to learn about PDA or have years of experience supporting autistic individuals, The PDA Effect is a powerful, insightful guide rooted in real life.
