I find myself talking about PDA a lot. It feels like most people I meet, actually. I never knew where to start and ended up giving a complete word vomit and going into so much detail. I’ve found PDA is understood and taken more seriously, when I say my daughter has a nervous system disability. Obviously when I’m having longer conversations I go into depth and raise an awareness, but for the shorter ones - this seems to work. What’s your go to way to summarise PDA in a way anyone will understand?
