    Ep. 156 - Radical Acceptance With A Mom Of 4 Kids With Pathological Demand Avoidance
    Mar 31 2026

    In this episode, I spoke with Kendahl Damashek about the concept of radical acceptance while parenting a PDA child. Kendahl is a PDA autistic mother with four PDA children 10 and under. (She's also one of the wonderful coaches on our team.)

    In the conversation we spoke about:

    👉 What does “radical acceptance” actually mean in real life?

    👉 Why is it so important to practice this in a way that is practical in order to shift the perception of autonomy and felt safety in the home and in relationship with your child or teen.

    👉Concrete examples from our own lives and working with families raising PDA children and teens when tradeoffs were necessary and how to confront that using down-to-earth acceptance strategies.

    I hope you find it helpful.

  • Ep. 155 - When Twins Progress Differently With Pathological Demand Avoidance

    Ep. 155 - When Twins Progress Differently With Pathological Demand Avoidance
    Mar 24 2026

    In this episode I speak with Pam, a mother of twin PDA 10-year-olds and a third younger sibling.

    Pam has been parenting through a PDA lens for years, but one of the twins is having a harder time than the other. We talked about ways to support him, as well as mindsets that can help Pam when she worries that progress is moving slowly, and feels grief.

    These are experiences common to most if not all parents of PDAers, and I am sure her story will resonate with many listeners.

    xo,

This the the most informative, thoughtful, and user-friendly podcast for PDA parenting I've found in my parenting journeying. I wish all clinicians in the ND space were trained in her approach so that caretakers desperate for help in supporting their ND loved ones didn't have to suffer through misdiagnoses; being invalidated and misunderstood; and treatment/approaches that make things worse. This podcast alone is more helpful than any traditional ASD therapy I've invested in. Thank you Casey and At Peace Parents!
