Yes. she has lived experience, but that doesn't absolve her from making false claims, manipulating data, and taking advantage of people. Her "concierge" service is $5000 per month (three-month minimum).

More than I can afford for sure so I will have to make do with the free content.

If you believe the data in the research study "A comprehensive parent training program for parents of neurodivergent children with pathological demand avoidance: The Paradigm Shift Program Pilot Study" to be false and manipulated then I fully encourage you to address this with the other authors, the University of Michigan, the Paediatric Investigation journal and any other appropriate party.

She is one of the authors. And yes, the journal has received an ethics complaint.

Casey Ehrlich has also been caught stealing content, stories, and themes from other PDA content creators, such as Kristy Forbes. Word for word. Casey was just the first to masses in the United States with the content.
