* [[Pathological demand avoidance/pervasive drive for autonomy]] [[extreme demand avoidance]] the following description is purely hypothetical and not composed in consultation with the adult PDA community: the combination of Autism and ADHD driving a non-stop rollercoaster ride of fight or flight responses (the autism wanting routine and the adhd wanting spontaneity) feeding the need to claw back control, reducing the brains capacity to regulate and rationalise likely resulting in crashes and observable ‘extreme reactions’ to what may be perceived as minor events. (This is what I am currently working on as part of my MA in Autism).
