As a disabled person, a lot of my life has been “you can’t/won’t be able to do that” or “no, you need to do it this way, your way is wrong”. I also experience this thing often associated with autism called “Pathological Demand Avoidance” (I prefer “Persistent Demand for Autonomy”) that makes me really good at ignoring that and continuing to do what I do, such as be an activist and make world history directing a show. But… sometimes it also gets me in trouble.
In today’s video we’re going to learn about what PDA is, where the term came from, what it can look like, and how we can accommodate for it in ourselves and in others. And maybe we’ll learn a bit about human nature along the way!

Hello my dears!
My name is Sydney and I’m an actor/singer-songwriter who writes music about my experiences being autistic, disabled, gay, gender fluid and in general, a human. My goal is to fill musical gaps and write about things people often forget to make music about. I’m also a vintage enthusiast and disability advocate (among other things). And, most importantly, my favorite color is buttercup yellow :)
