🌈 Welcome to PDA Dad UK, your dedicated space for understanding Autism, Pathological Demand Avoidance, and the broader spectrum of neurodiversities. 🌈

In this channel, we unravel not just the 'what' but the 'who' behind these conditions. While the terms Autism and PDA are commonly recognized, true understanding is often lacking, and that’s where this channel comes in.
➡️ Our mission is to fill this gap, promoting a culture of acceptance and heightened awareness. We journey through the complex realms of autism, addressing various facets such as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), ADHD, Mental Health, and more.

Behind this channel is a devoted father of a wonderful daughter with Autism and PDA, embracing the highs and lows of neurodiverse parenting. This platform reflects my life—a fusion of personal narratives, shared experiences, and informative content.
➡️ Beyond just sharing, I hold roles that connect me deeper into this community, serving as a Carer's Ambassador for Devon Carers, an Ambassador Volunteer for DiAS, and an Ambassador for the PDA Society.
Every video is a heart-to-heart conversation, a professional insight, or a beacon of enlightenment on the nuances of neurodiversity. This channel is for those seeking knowledge, comfort in communal experiences, or engagement with a like-minded, passionate audience.
