1 post | 1 read

Welcome to my downside up life! My name is Ariana and I want to explain what it's like to have pathological demand avoidance from my perspective. I'll try and show you why I am the way I am from inside my own head and why I often feel like I have to control the things around me by avoiding demands as much as I can.

I'm Not Upside Down, I'm Downside Up: Not a Boring Book about PDA | Harry Thompson, Danielle Jata-Hall

pick

Brilliant. In a challenging, uncomfortable kind of way.

Written by an autistic PDA adult and the parent of a daughter with PDA (pathological demand avoidance), this story takes you inside the head of Ariana, a PDA child/teen, showing just how scary a place the world can be.

Illustrations by Mollie Sherwin.

A really engaging little book.
