This week's book is The Insider Guide to PDA. It offers an in-depth exploration of PDA (Persistent Drive for Autonomy) which is a profile os some neurodivergent experiences. The book covers topics like what PDA can be like at each different life stage, strategies for self-regulation and support of loved ones and each chapter closes with commentary from the authors - Sally Cat and Brook Madera are both PDAers who are also parents of PDA kiddos. Check this book out for helpful insight and knowledge!
