Extreme Demand Avoidance 8-item measure (EDA-8)
In 2013, Dr Liz O’Nions et al developed the Extreme Demand Avoidance Questionnaire (EDA-Q) to measure caregiver reported behaviours in clinical accounts of extreme/‘pathological’ demand avoidance in Autistic children and young people aged 5-17. This questionnaire sought to measure these traits consistently for research purposes, but was not designed to be a diagnostic test.
In 2021, O’Nions et al further refined the EDA-Q to provide a caregiver report measure of 8 items, the EDA-8. The items dropped from the EDA-Q were those which showed less consistency with child age, gender, ability or independence. The items retained were found to cover the features consistently described in accounts of PDA. The EDA-8 is designed for research purposes and has not been tested in clinical settings.
The English version of the EDA-8 can be downloaded here.
The Norwegian version* of the EDA-8 (translated by Torill Fjæran-Granum) can be downloaded here.
The Spanish version* of the EDA-8 (translated by Rocio Manzanera Lidon) can be downloaded here.
The Finnish version* of the EDA-8 (translated by Autism Finland) can be downloaded here.
The 2021 study describing the refinement of the EDA-8 can be found here.
The original article describing development of the EDA-Q can be found here.
