I'm very aware that parents end up discovering that one or that one of them might be.

I would have no problem with it if I was.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#170 Caroline Foran | The Nervous System, Anxiety & PDA Parenting

But at the moment, from what I know of it and from what I've researched, I don't think I'd meet enough of the criteria.

I think possibly there could be scope for ADHD, but I'm not sure.

And I just, I've been so...

The Laura Dowling Experience
#170 Caroline Foran | The Nervous System, Anxiety & PDA Parenting

consumed with supporting my son that I haven't, I haven't had the time to go and invest in that for myself yet.

I get messages from people all the time being like the parents ended up separating because, or especially if they had more than one kid and the two kids ended up being PDA and they couldn't actually be together, they'd have to be in separate households and they just swap kids.

It happens a lot with autistic families where it's much harder for the kids to be in the same space, that it's more regulating for them to be separate.

Like I know a PDA expert who's amazing, Casey Elrick, she's

at Peace Parents on Instagram, her two kids ended up being PDA and they had to be separated for like years at a time.

So for the most part, we can tag team.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#170 Caroline Foran | The Nervous System, Anxiety & PDA Parenting

I am definitely the primary person.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#170 Caroline Foran | The Nervous System, Anxiety & PDA Parenting

Like it's been really tough on me in that like I sleep with them every night.

I haven't slept in the same bed as my husband for years.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#170 Caroline Foran | The Nervous System, Anxiety & PDA Parenting

And then he would be like extremely dysregulated and I'd be paying for it for days on end.
