Earlier today, a comment was posted on one of my blog posts which made my heart fill with joy.

'I have learned a lot tonight from your post together with the priory children's page on PDA. I am a paramedic and had never heard or come across this. I guess in my naivety I thought they were just kids being difficult. This just goes to show every day is a school day and I have learned something valuable which I am now able to pass on to my peers'

This comment was left on the most-read post on my blog, one which is titled 'Ten things you need to know about Pathological Demand Avoidance'. I do tend to suffer a little bit from self-doubt at times; self-promotion makes me feel uneasy, but reading a comment like this makes me realise a couple of things....

1: that it's all worth it. The time it has taken to write blog posts in the first place, and on top of that the huge amount of time spent on social media (mainly Facebook, Instagram and Twitter), trying to spread the word to people that the blog posts are there.

2: that even when I cringe because it feels like I'm 'banging on' about something, or as if I'm 'blowing my on trumpet' by promoting what I've written, it is still worth doing, and repeating, because there are people out there who haven't heard about Pathological Demand Avoidance type of autism yet.

The more people who hear about PDA and recognise it, either in their own family or in those they teach or are in contact with for any reason, the more understanding there can be. And that's a huge part of why I write. So please forgive me if it feels like I'm repeating myself when I share my posts, or when I ask you to like or comment on my social media posts because there is then more chance of more people seeing them. I do it because I want to help others.

Here's the post which the lovely comment was left on - please like and share - even if you've done it before! You never know who might see it for the first time this time... 😄
