Get to know Laura as we discuss the world of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), self-care, and neuro-affirming support.
Join us as we explore the unique challenges individuals with PDA face, the importance of creating a supportive, understanding environment, and how self-care practices can be tailored for neurodiverse individuals.
Laura shares valuable insights on fostering acceptance, managing stress, sleep and advocating for the needs of those who navigate life through a neurodivergent lens.
Whether you’re a caregiver, a professional, or simply curious about neurodiversity, this conversation offers practical advice and compassionate strategies for creating a more inclusive world. Enjoy!
Thank you for being here,
