Boys with PDA don't always shut down; sometimes they explode.
They hold it together all day, then fall apart the moment they're home. That's not bad behavior—it’s a nervous system doing its best. PDA in boys can get missed because aggression looks like defiance, and masking looks like "doing fine."

When a child's behavior feels overwhelming, it's easy to focus on what they're doing...but what if we asked what they're carrying instead? Trauma, stress, and big experiences live in the body and show up as behavior long before they show up as words. At Orchid Pediatrics, we help families understand what's underneath so kids can finally get the support they need 💚
