    PDA: What Does It Look Like & How Is It Different For Men and Women? | EP43

    Extreme Demand Avoidance is the new, rebranded term for what used to be Pathological Demand Avoidance. It is not recognised by the NHS yet so many Neurodivergent people struggling with navigating its demands. After this episode its pretty clear we do too! In this super sized episode, along with guest Ashley Bentley, we delve into the complexities of extreme demand avoidance in neurodivergent adults by taking a screening test to see how much we are effected by EDA or PDA and how it is different for Men and Women. We discuss how we have used the creation of fantasy worlds as a coping mechanism, how we navigate and can be guilty of several dynamics of manipulation in relationships, the complexities of keeping up your reputation, and the impact of 'outrageous' behaviour and emotional responses that are often misdiagnosed as a 'tantrum' on our lives. https://embrace-autism.com/eda-qa/ Takeaways Extreme demand avoidance can lead to internal conflict about wanting to do things.Mimicking others can be a natural response to social situations.Demand avoidance can significantly impact behaviour and relationships.Creating fantasy worlds can serve as a coping mechanism for stress.Manipulation in relationships can be unintentional and rooted in self-preservation.Meltdowns can occur under pressure and are often a release of built-up stress and emotions which are often misunderstood. Emotional responses can vary greatly, from crying to anger.
