520 ## - ABSTRACT
Abstract This book is a unique window into adult Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), exploring the diversity of distinct PDA traits through the voices of over 70 people living with and affected by the condition.<br/><br/>"PDA is an autistic spectrum condition which comprises a pathological drive to avoid everyday demands (commands, expectations, pressures, etc), coupled with extreme anxiety and a host of other goodies such as being interested in people and enjoying wordplay" (Sally Cat).<br/><br/>Sally Cat, an adult with PDA, has successfully captured the essence of a popular online support group in book form, making the valuable insights available to a wider audience, and creating a much-needed resource for individuals and professionals. Candid discussions cover issues ranging from overload and meltdowns, to work, relationships and parenting. This is a fascinating and sometimes very moving read.<br/><br/>Sally Cat has compiled the book from discussions between over 70 people from around the world that have taken place within the Facebook Adult PDA Support Network.
