Regular ASD Meltdown: Reduce stimuli, stay calm, offer safe space, support recovery. ASD PDA Meltdown: Lower demands, give choices, stay patient, build trust, allow control, leave them alone to regulate.  #tandkaythespectrumway #fyp #autistic #actuallyautistic #autismawareness #pda #pdaprofile #pdaawareness #autisticadvocate #neurodivergentrelationships #pdahack #pdaparenting #autismpda

This is Part 2 (if you haven’t seen part 1 watch it first for context.  My wife gave me permission to trigger her PDA but she didn’t know when it was going to happen for genuine responses. She wants to be able to help parents and other loved ones understand their child or partner better.  #tandkaythespectrumway #fyp #autistic #actuallyautistic #autismawareness #pda #pdaprofile #pdaawareness #autisticadvocate #neurodivergentrelationships #pdaparenting

•  Core Trait: Extreme avoidance of everyday demands (e.g., getting dressed, completing tasks), often driven by anxiety rather than defiance. This can appear as negotiation, distraction, or refusal. •  Social Differences: Individuals with PDA may be socially engaging and have better surface-level social skills than some autistic individuals, but they struggle with social demands or maintaining relationships due to anxiety. •  PDA often includes sensory sensitivities, intense interests, and difficulty with change. However, the demand avoidance is the hallmark. •  Behavioral Signs: 	•  Using imaginative or socially manipulative strategies to avoid demands (e.g., making excuses, role-playing). 	•  High anxiety and emotional regulation challenges, sometimes leading to meltdowns. 	•  Preference for control in interactions or environments. •  Support Needs: Individuals with PDA often respond better to low-demand, flexible approaches rather than traditional behavior management. Strategies include offering choices, reducing direct commands, and building trust. #tandkaythespectrumway #fyp #autistic #actuallyautistic #autismawareness #pda #pdaprofile #pdaawareness #autisticadvocate #neurodivergentrelationships

Word problems in math are subjective to the context that they are used in. Technically her reasoning isn’t wrong and out of the box thinking like this is crucial for society.  Unfortunately though this doesn’t line up with the public education systems agenda, and instead she was made to feel incompetent compared to others growing up.  Can anyone else relate? #fyp #tandkaythespectrumway #autismawareness #autistic #latediagnosedautistic #actuallyautistic #audhd #asd #autism #math

In this conversation, my wife was trying to compliment me. She told me that, while she sometimes notices things she doesn’t like about me, her love for me is so strong that those things don’t matter at all.  You have to be patient and not get defensive in order to understand. My wife has never tried hurting me. She has a heart of gold. #fyp #autismacceptance #socialcues #autismawareness #autismoftiktok #audhd #autisticadult #actuallyautistic #husbandwife
