  • Thank you, Casey

    I am so grateful for Casey, for her research and her lived example. Parenting PDA kids can be extremely isolating and confusing and this podcast has been my main source of wisdom, problem-solving/brainstorming ideas, and connection to the stories of other parents experiencing similar things. It is clear that Casey walks the talk in her own life and that challenges me on a deep spiritual level.

  • 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... more

  • Took me from denial to supported recognition

    I am so grateful for this podcast. I’m pretty sure I’m PDA myself and I’ve found it hard to persist with exploring PDA (!) but this podcast has illuminated so many things about my child in such an affirming and supportive way, that I actually want to keep listening! I’ve gone from thinking my child *might* be “a bit PDA” to feeling like I have a depth of understanding of what that really means and how best to support him, all thanks to your wise words. And I have also felt held through the grief... more
