westie Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Hi,please have a look at the presentation made at the latest PDA conference by Liz and her Colleague (see my other post made here) and then consider completing the questionnaire if your child 6 -17yrs has a diagnosis, or you suspect PDA. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just to let you know that there is research going on about PDA at King's College London. They have developed a questionnaire about PDA (with the help of the Elizabeth Newson Centre) for parents to fill out about children aged 6-17. It doesn't matter if your child doesn't have an official diagnosis, please fill it in anyway! If you would like to take part, please go to this link: http://www.autism.org.uk/en-GB/Get-involved/Volunteer/Take-part-in-surveys-and-research/Research-recruit-people-or-participate/Research-projects-children-and-young-people/Pathological-Demand-Avoidance-questionnaire.aspx If you want to know more about the researchers involved (Liz O'Nions and Francesca Happe), here are their staff profiles. http://www.iop.kcl.ac.uk/staff/profile/default.aspx?go=10942&local=True http://www.iop.kcl.ac.uk/staff/profile/default.aspx?go=12616&local=True Research is the way to get PDA to a wider audience and more accepted among clinicians, so please do fill out the questionnaire.

baddad Report post Posted March 24, 2011 Hi - there's already a thread started on this by (presumably) the Liz O'Nions you mention above... I'm very sceptical about PDA, but I've voiced my opinion in the other thread (link below) so won't express it again here. If a mod picks this up perhaps they can merge the two threads? http://www.asd-forum.org.uk/forum/Index.php?/topic/26372-calling-parents-of-children-with-asd-adhd-emotional-behavioural-difficulties-aged-6-17-research-into-demand-avoidance/ L&P BD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted March 24, 2011 I think it's best to keep the threads separate - the other one for expressing opinions and this one for information only, given that the main purpose of this particular subforum is information and support about PDA. Hope that makes sense K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
