Abstract

This is a short correspondence type article responding to Gillberg et al (2024) to discuss various risks associated with "Pathological Demand Avoidance" (PDA), and how further research is required to evaluate these risks. The essay draws heavily on literature above its 5 reference limit, and so there is an appendix of suggested further reading.
