"Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome: My Daughter is Not Naughty" by Jane Alison Sherwin is a heartfelt and informative book that focuses on Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), a behavior profile often associated with autism spectrum disorder. In this book, Sherwin shares her personal experience of raising a child with PDA, offering insights into the complexities of the condition and the challenges parents face in understanding and supporting their children.

PDA is characterized by an extreme avoidance of demands, which can lead to behavioral challenges and confusion for caregivers, teachers, and others involved in the child's life. Sherwin emphasizes that PDA is not a result of poor parenting or "naughty" behavior, but rather a response to the intense anxiety and need for control experienced by children with the condition. The book aims to shift the perspective on demanding behavior, highlighting that children with PDA often act out due to an overwhelming sense of fear, rather than defiance or malice.
