Can I tell you about Pathological Demand Avoidance syndrome? Quotes

“Children with PDA are often more intellectually able and verbally articulate than children with more typical autism and also appear to be more socially aware. However, they have major problems in relating to and understanding the subtle social aspects of life, together with the unwritten rules of social interaction. They can be extremely challenging but understanding the nature of their difficulties can really make a difference to their lives.”
