I'm finding your videos really helpful in understanding my 11 year old PDA student and what I can do to maintain my 'teacher-student' relationship with him.
My son is only seven at the moment and he is physically abusive, my fear is that this will continue into adulthood...would you be able to do a video on how you manage with this side of PDA..if indeed you did have to
When I was a kid I was constantly physically abusive, my parents say they honestly believed I would grow up to be a serial killer I was so angry and abusive all the time. I was a crazy kid and I really don't know how my parents did it, but they stuck through it and have been so supportive and helpful all my life. I'm far from perfect and struggle with many things, but my parents tell me every now and again that they can't believe I'm the same person. If someone pushes me too far or starts a fight with me in a club or something like that I do still get angry and don't remember the fight at all or what I said, but I can usually control it. Everyone is different obviously, but I just thought I'd share my story to give you some hope.
Hey, I've been in a relationship for 2 years with someone who has not been diagnosed with anything, but is very 'different' to the 'norm', he is very artistic and intelligent in his own way, however his mood is extremely bad, one minuet he can be social, friendly and next if someone says or asks something he doesn't like or want to do he will switch into this completely different person, who shouts, screams and swears, even in public as its like he doesn't fully understand where he is or what hes doing when he has these 'breakdowns' ( If i say anything which isn't correct terminology im sorry) I have never heard of PDA but a lot of the things you've explained in other videos sound so slimier to what he is like, especially the mood changes. As I hadn't heard of PDA I used to get upset, confused and angry when I'd ask him about something or asked him to do something and his reply to this was pure anger and hate towards me. However where you have sorry sermonises he hasn't ever apologised about anything he has said or done, to anyone. He shrugs it off and acts like it didn't happen. Me and his mother has suspected autism however whenever bringing this up to him he will get angry and tell us he is normal, theres nothing wrong with him. Which we don't want him to think he isn't 'normal' we just want to help him. How did you get diagnosed? How could we help him get advice or help, even if he didn't have PDA? Btw you're such an inspiration, and oddly you look exactly like him :') Thanks
As a Mum with a child with PDA love your videos. They are so insightful and help to look at the positive.
This sounds like information that will be useful in my life, thank you.

Thank you. But apparently that's incorrect!
Whoah! How can someone else be telling you what your sexuality is???!
