"PDA is typically defined as a profile on the autism spectrum characterized by a hypersensitivity to threats and a primary drive for autonomy. This can sometimes make it challenging for parents and professionals to see how these children fit into the broader autism spectrum. However, by examining the autism criteria in the diagnostic standard across most of the world (called the DSM-5) through the lens of PDA, we can better understand how these kids meet the criteria in their own unique ways. "

(I cannot dive into the DSM-5 criteria without first giving a trigger warning that the DSM defines autism through a decisively pejorative lens. Autism is not simply a difference in DSM-land. It is a deficit and a problem. And must be a deficit to qualify for diagnosis. So take it all with a grain of salt.)

Want to learn more about monotropism? Kieran Rose (The Autistic Advocate) is a great person to learn from: “If you aren’t aware of monotropic neurology, it can be easy to assume that while in a flow state, an autistic person is deliberately disengaged, deliberately not listening, or not paying attention on purpose. This is all classified negatively as ‘challenging behavior,’ but is not the case.”
