Season 4 Episode 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.
EP 29: Special Guest- Steph Curtis: PDA in the Family
Q: If you were meeting somebody who is brand new to PDA, what's that first message to that brand new family who's struggling?
Just to not blame yourself or to think you're going crazy, it's so easy to think that and to feel like you're not doing it right.
