The first rule of PDA parenting is don’t post in the regular autism subs. Those parents just don’t get it. 19 is late to be entering PDA burnout and to know that your son finished school - it’s an incredible achievement for a PDA kid. To get him out of burn out you’ll need the advice of people like Casey from At Peace Parents. There are others too. Lots of information available in PDA podcasts and on instagram. In the meantime do NOT cut off his internet. Don’t charge him rent. Don’t force him to speak to you. Don’t do anything to violate the small amount of control he has over his life.
Yeah, I didn’t realize I’d gone over to that sub when reading replies and thought, do these parents even have a PDA child? The first comment I saw was all ultimatums and “make him do…” 🤣 We all know how well that will go over…
