'Being a mum to a teenage PDA son is life-changing, and at times, utterly heartwrenchingexperience. Seeing Harry through his own candid, entertaining anddiplomatic lens, fills me with hope, quiet optimism, and (most importantly) confidencefor my own son's future. Thank you Harry for your insight.' - Natasha, PDA mum'As a clinician who has worked with complex young people and adults with Autismthroughout my working life, I was delighted to be asked to review this book. I read it inone sitting. It is the most articulate, honest, entertaining (and sometimes funny) bookabout PDA I have read. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to gain aninsight into how this profile impacts upon individuals, their families and those who workwith or are involved in their education.' - Dr Judy Eaton, C onsultant C linicalPsychologist
