Autism and Demand Avoidance (managing the need for control including ODD and PDA)

We have fancy medical names for behaviour these days... Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), etc... What these things have in common is a need for control, and hence a strong negative reaction to being asked (especially forced) to do something. This is common in many autistic people even without any additional label, so in this video we look at what's behind this behaviour and what we can do to manage it better.
