Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 42: Special Guest - Laura Kerbey
Q: So, why don't you, do you mind giving us kind of a general, like, hey, when did you kind of go on the radar that maybe you have ADHD?
Laura explains how her son's diagnosis, the school system, and professional observations led her to realize ADHD might be present in herself as well, culminating in her own late diagnosis and the recognition that ADHD can be hereditary and sometimes missed in women.
EP 41: Special Guest- Dr. Joy
Q: How can we tell the difference between autistic burnout and PANS/PANDAS with a PDA child?
Autistic burnout tends to be gradual, while PANS/PANDAS involves an acute, often overnight change in function and symptoms; the former is more cumulative stress, the latter a sudden medical-related shift.
EP 39: Special Guest - Bailey Hoffner
Q: Can you tell us how you connected to the PDA community and your personal diagnosis journey?
Bailey shares that she is adult-diagnosed, her child experienced burnout, and how discovering Journeys With PDA supported her, eventually leading to an autistic assessment that clarified her own profile.
EP 24: Special Guest: Vinnie Stars- The Adult PDA Experience; Leveling (Part 2)
Q: If you could tell a parent one thing, one thing, Vinnie, about helping their PDA or when they are there, when they are in the place that you are describing, what would that piece of advice be?
Yes, space, but it's about understanding why space is necessary, as it allows for solutions to emerge without pressure.
EP 29: Special Guest- Steph Curtis: PDA in the Family
Q: Did you run across pushback in the very beginning with family members or just external people?
We've been really lucky, in terms of family and friends. The blogging helped with that because I was explaining a lot more.
