Petition Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)

More details

We believe that PDA autism should be recognised in the UK medical directory as a specific, diagnosable condition. We would like to see government intervention to persue this. PDA has been recognised as a form of autism for over 30 years with the National Autistic Society, yet getting a diagnosis through the NHS is a postcode lottery. This condition affects hundreds of children and their families, yet because of lack of diagnosis, there is also lack of support.
