Reviews
Alice Running's lived experience of parenting a PDA child ensures the authenticity and success of the practical solutions she offers. A must read for parents/carers advocating for their child and striving to secure an environment in which they can thrive. -- Leanne Jaques - Blogger and Advocate - The Lightbulb Moment PDA
As a professional who regularly works with people who are autistic with demand avoidant presentations, this book very clearly articulates and encapsulates all I need to know about this aspect of neurodivergence. Alice's honest narrative and her insights into how to create safety, rather than perpetuating a child's distress, offers lovely enlightenment to the reader. -- Cathleen Long, Independent Social Worker
