A little while back Comfortandkindness shared this post on Instagram, talking about the difference between many books on ADHD and autism, in that the latter foster more self acceptance, as opposed to tips and tricks to function better.
It makes me wonder if I’ve had enough focus on self-acceptance of PDA life. I know my recent experience has been shaped by my attempting to regain functioning lost through bipolar episodes and burn out. I don’t want that experience to lead to a point of treating my PDA as something to be “fixed” though.
A PDA neurotype leads to a very distinct way of being in the world. Like comfortandkindness says in her post, that way of being isn’t a problem to be solved. It’s something we can accept and embrace.
