I’ve always been an avid reader of parenting books and learning about various parenting styles. So, getting to chat with Amanda Diekman, the PDA Autist and author and founder of "Low Demand Parenting” was such a treat!!

Despite a prestigious academic background, her life took a pivotal turn when her son experienced severe autistic burnout in 2020, leading to her own breakdown.From this emerged a radical approach to parenting rooted in acceptance over demand.

In our conversation, we explore her book, delve into the genesis of low-demand parenting, and discuss navigating new parenting styles with our partners. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of embracing radical acceptance in parenting.
