Abstract

In this presentation, a critique of PDA narrative and theory is given, examining the PDA behaviour profile and the issue of external as opposed to internal demands. PDA theory is then compared and contrasted with other potential explanations and theories which may relate to this phenomenon - namely ODD, Attachment Disorder, Executive Functioning, Monotropism and Autistic Inertia.
