communication too hard because these kids when they go to school they are mimicking and masking social skills and it's exhausting.
And part of why they avoid school is because they come home from school and then they wanna hide in their room for seven hours because they're so overloaded from the social demands.
Oftentimes these are are introverts, not always.
So you have to
Really be aware of their window of tolerance.
Are they in a place where they can do more?
So
One of the books I'm gonna recommend on your website is called Understanding PDA and it's it's kind of by
you know, some of the first psychologists who were the ones to recognize this disorder in the UK and they talk about, um
Asking if the child goes to school and and ideally
These are the kiddos unfortunately or fortunately that end up in an alternative school setting a lot of the time in order to continue in school.
And usually what
they'll do is um and there are actually schools in the UK for kids with PDA.
Which is incredible and I wanna go learn all about them.
But my understanding is that what you would do with a child like this is when they come in in the morning
you would, you know, hand them sort of an abbreviated list of the the tasks that they might do that day and say, what do you feel you can do today?
And so putting it on that child, so you're not placing the pressure to say we're gonna do math now for 45 minutes, but you have a list of four things that they can do.
What do you feel you can do today?
Well, of my math problems, I feel that I can only do the multiplication, but I can't do the division.
Okay, so let's do that.
