At Peace Parents: a youtube channel with a special approach to parenting “Pathological Demand Avoidant” children

Stumbled across this term the other day, a category of spergs with something called PDA, or Pathological Demand Avoidance. From the looks of it, it's something used to describe a particular breed of “difficult” neurodivergent children who are somewhat social but in the most assholish way possible. It's not widely recognized and like most disorders today, seems like a definition people want to get in the DSM so they can get insurance to cover it, I'm guessing.

What's interesting is there's a popular channel where some mom provides a lot of advice on how to handle your child's nervous system. This is an important angle: you're not dealing with the child, you're dealing with the child's nervous system, which merits a completely “different” type of parenting. (Some would argue this isn't really parenting at all, but I'll let you be the judge.) Example:

Just thought this would be a good PSA before our finest dramatards somehow manage to procreate.

if you're always stuck capitulating to your tard kid in order to deescalate the situation, how do you ever set boundaries for acceptable and unacceptable behavior?

>oh, but my kid is in survival :minecraftcreeper: brain mode :grugthink: ! it's his nervous system, not his behavior! :marseyvenn4:

maybe your kid need to learn to self-regulate his nervous system and correct his behavior??? you know, like how all the other high-functioning and successful neurodivergent kids :marseydramautist: do?

what are they to do when they grow up and enter the real world where people won't bend over backwards to accommodate their specific brand of :marseyairquotes: neurodivergence :marseyairquotes: ?

His nervous system would start responding different if she beat him with a stick

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.

The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.

Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.

Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
