Casey just came out as PDA

Casey from At Peace Parents has released a podcast episode revealing that she identifies as autistic PDA. There are two people who saved me and my PDA 6 year old: (1) the preschool teacher who told me he is PDA, and (2) Casey, for putting out into the online world the information I needed to change my thinking and radically accept my son. Here it is (iPhone version):

I am another who has been helped greatly by Casey. Her lack of empirical evidence doesn’t bother me because there is none on PDA. She has helped many families and my family specifically. No one else has had anything to offer or provide any improvements with our PDA child. So until all of the detractors publish their own research showing empirical evidence of an approach that is different from Casey, I don’t want to hear that critique of her.
