Understanding Sensory Differences in PDAers

Originally broadcast live on Thursday 9th October 2025, this recorded session explores how sensory experiences influence regulation, behaviour and everyday life for PDAers — and how environments and approaches can be adapted to offer better support at home, in school or in the community.

Guest speakers:

• Kyra Chambers – Autistic (PDA) and ADHD writer, parent and self-advocate promoting positive acceptance of PDA, Autism and ADHD. Autistic Prism Cat on Facebook

• Julia Daunt – Adult PDAer, PDA Society Trainer, Author and Blogger at Me, Myself and PDA

Together, Kyra and Julia share lived experience and professional insight into how sensory processing differences affect everyday life for PDA people.

In this recorded session, you’ll gain:

• Insight into how sensory processing links to demand avoidance

• Practical strategies and support ideas for a range of settings

• Real-life experiences from PDA adults and families

• Signposting to further resources and information

This Q&A is suitable for PDAers, parents and carers, educators and professionals who want to better understand and support the sensory needs of PDA people.
