Bringing together PDAers from all over the world
Research into PDA is still limited, but what we do know suggests that around one in five autistic people could have a PDA profile. That means there may be millions of PDAers worldwide, still struggling to understand their experiences, or find others like them.
This year we’ve collaborated with PDA North America on an interactive map which brings together PDAers from all over the world. As more people are coming home to their neurodivergence, this interactive map is a powerful reminder that PDAers are everywhere. You are not alone. You belong.
You can check out the full map on our home page or add your voice here.
Live talks from the international PDA community
On Wednesday 13th May (4pm UK time), PDA North America is hosting leaders from across the global PDA community, including PDA Society CEO Elizabeth Archer for a live discussion. We invite you to join us as we share insights from our communities and highlight both the challenges and progress which is happening worldwide.
You are welcome to join the full event of live talks hosted by PDA North America (look out for the time difference!). You can check out the full line up and RSVP here.
Join our Facebook support groups
Our growing Facebook support groups are a safe space to connect with other PDAers and parent carers. For the first time on Wednesday 13th May we’ll also be giving you the opportunity to chat live with our support service about the things which matter to you most.
You can join one of our Facebook groups here. Or if you need more help, you can also contact our support service directly.
PDA Society podcast relaunch
On Thursday 14th May we’ll be bringing you next season 2 of our popular podcast, PDA Life. You’ll be able to catch the first episode on ‘Why diagnosis matters for PDA adults’ through the PDA Training Hub or wherever you get your podcasts.
We’ll continue to bring together clinicians, parents and PDAers to bring you the information that matters most, and where you can find support.
