Understanding PDA: Virtual Autism MyTime

MyTime is for parents and caregivers raising a child with disability, developmental delay or autism.

Want to better understand PDA and how to support your autistic child? 

Join us for Understanding PDA: Virtual Autism MyTime with psychologist and author Raelene Dundon, as we explore Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), a profile of autism that is increasingly recognised yet often misunderstood. 

In this session, we’ll look at: 

• What PDA is and how it may present in children 

• How it differs from other autism profiles 

• The challenges and strengths associated with PDA 

• Approaches that support connection, trust and understanding 

This conversation is for parents and carers of neurodivergent children, including those who are exploring or awaiting a diagnosis. Whether PDA is already part of your child’s profile or you’re just beginning to explore it, you’ll gain insight, clarity, and supportive strategies. 

During a MyTime session, there is a guided discussion and a space to connect with other families. These discussions offer an opportunity for parents and caregivers to share and learn from each other. The sessions are held online via Zoom.
