     Hello, 

    My eldest son was 7 when diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder with a profile of pathological demand avoidance. That was 3 years ago.

    If you have any questions feel free to ask.

    hello hope you are well Lau.

    Our son is 5 and is in middle of assessments for ASD and specifically PDA - he presents with extreme demand avoidance, and can dysregulate when doesn't get own way.
    i think my question is quite simple at this stage - I was wondering if you think it's possible for kids with these challenges (you mention your son who was 7 3 years ago) to improve with age and find ways to cope with their feelings, emotions and difference over time, as they develop?

    thank you
