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.
