Today on the show I chat with Kate Kleinau, who you may know from her Facebook and Instagram accounts as Raising PDA Kids.


In this episode, Kate and I chat about:

  • How her son's autistic burnout in his early childhood years led her to discover that he was PDA.
  • The things she and her husband did to support her son's recovery from burnout.
  • How embracing radical acceptance and adapting the way she parents her children has led to calmer, connected moments with her son.
  • Her work supporting other PDA mums.


Does this resonate for you?
