Are you trying traditional parenting advice and rules only to feel like nothing works and you're somehow getting it wrong? You're not alone.

If you're raising a child with a PDA profile you can feel like you're living in perpetual Opposite Day because most of what we're told "works" totally backfires.

Amanda Diekman is an autistic PDA mother to three neurodivergent children and the author of the groundbreaking book, "Low Demand Parenting." 

In our conversation we discuss:

• What exactly a PDA profile is and how it might show up in our kids (or ourselves!)


• How to navigate the challenges and complexities of parenting a child with a highly sensitive nervous system


• Why reducing demands leads to more trusting, harmonious relationships within the family


• Practical strategies for lowering demands and advocating for your PDA child outside the home
