@kitten_tech what you're describing sounds so much like the difficult amorphic internal obstacles I'm wrestling with every day. I really appreciate how you're doing internal investigation- to discern challges and work around them. All we can do is keep trying different strategies, right?
I don't know your details- for me, I'm pretty sure my chronic illnesses are part of it. But I'm pretty sure it's mostly my PDA Autism (and burnout). Maybe it's relevant 4u too? #PathologicalDemandAvoidance

Watching a security awareness training video at work about social engineering.
"Hackers know that by pretending to be an authority figure, you are more likely to comply without asking questions."
Hackers have clearly never met me.

I just learned about pathological demand avoidance and I think I found my flavor of autism. Just reading about it so many things clicked into perspective for me. I don’t know what that means for me yet but my world feels a bit lighter tonight and maybe for the first time there’s hope that someday I won’t feel like an imposter for simply existing.

This is exactly like #pda stepson Zs behaviour during a meltdown: a complete inability to do what she’s told; physical and verbal abuse to resist; trying to push all of the buttons to make the officers lose their sh!t. I relate so hard to the officers’ predicament. When Z has a meltdown like this it’s so hard. Do you think this is a pda meltdown or just the behaviour of a ‘spoiled brat that’s never been told no’?

#Pathological #Demand #Avoidance (PDA) Misconceptions
#Pathologicaldemandavoidance (#PDA) is most often seen in people with #autism, but certain traits also have been seen with people with #ADHD and other sensory processing #disorders. In this video I will talk about what PDA is, why it's often searched with ADHD and autism, strategies that can help those with pathological #demandavoidance, and what it's like living with PDA.

1/ #PDA step son got me again last night. He’d been civil after school, then at story time before bed he mentioned something about Mexico City and I replied that it’s a huge city with about 10 million residents. Without missing a beat he said ‘shut up - I wasn’t talking to you’. His mum called him out on it and he said ‘shut up isn’t a swear word’.

C and I have just discovered a thing called #pathologicaldemandavoidance #pda which exactly fits the challenging behaviour we’re trying to cope with with our 9 year old who has #Autism We’re at our wits end - he refuses to do anything (getting out of bed, getting dressed, eating, drinking). He’s also violent and verbally abusive to all of us. This discovery will hopefully enable us to learn more about coping strategies, and connect with others facing similar challenges. #neurodivergence

FWIW, I label people with that pathological behavior and psychographic trait a “compulsive contrarian.”
I’ve also seen it scaled down in observed behaviors of children, specifically: “pathological demand avoidance”
Seeing unprocessed issues of minoritarian (in this case, authoritarian-minority) manifest onto the body politic is low-key traumatizing everyone.

@KaCi it would be nice to think #PathologicalDemandAvoidance is a helpful thing. I can report it has serious downsides and I’m not at all a fan of living with mine. #ActuallyAutistic @actuallyautistic

I need breakfast #help.
I used to eat oats, but started putting more fruit in it than there were oats.. which wasn't great ( #diabetic and fruit has a lot of sugar) and was getting expensive.
I had muesli and yoghurt for a while, but the only muesli I can eat also pushes my blood glucose too high.
Then I started eating weetbix, which is ok for my #diabetes but I'm now at the point where I'm adding sugar to it, which is bad.
I have a #ChronicPain disorder, #MentalHealth issues, #audhd with #ExecutiveFunction issues and I'm pretty sure I have #PathologicalDemandAvoidance. I have #SensoryIssues with some foods.
Does anyone have any suggestions or help? Because I can't keep eating rice crispy treats for breakfast...
Thank you! 😊
(also, please don't give me advice on how to lose weight. I'm just trying to feed myself in a way that won't make me sick)

#PathologicalDemandAvoidance may be my new favourite identified symptom within my personal spectrum

CW: vent about having a burned out PDA nervous system
When the spirit is willing but the flesh (PDA burned out nervous system) is spongy and bruised...
Yesterday I got the sudden urge to work on my novel, which I haven't been able to do for months, so it was a Big Deal. I wrote 2 paragraphs, and despite the writing itself being easy and enjoyable, the demand avoidance and anticipatory anxiety were so intense that:
1) I melted down from sudden sensory sensitivity
2) my heart was in my throat from overwhelm and anxiety and still is 24 hours later
3) I dissociated and shut down to non speaking
4) I gor (and continue to have) agonizing psychogenic itch and temperature dysregulation so bad I couldn't sleep.I wanted to write. I was *enjoying* writing. But my nervous system is so shot and my demand avoidance+anxiety so high that just 2 paragraphs was enough to fuck me up beyond belief for hours/days.
How do I do the things I want to do in life in the face of this? 😭
