I realised everything I was doing was wrong. I needed to learn. I needed to change. During Laura Kerbey's time teaching autistic children, she had a sudden realisation that those with pathological demand avoidance (PDA) are children like no other! None of her tried-and-tested autism strategies would work to help them focus or learn and most of her time was spent wondering, "what am I doing wrong?" Illustrated by the popular Eliza Fricker and packed with entertaining anecdotes (including one about Jabba the Hutt's poo), this go-to guide contains everything you need to start implementing PDA-friendly learning to help you connect with your student and help them make the most of their learning experience.
