Autism: Ilkley family's wait for support after diagnosis
Eleven-year-old Isla has Pathological Demand Avoidance, which has led to her not attending school since January. Her mother Kate said the condition meant any sort of demand "from getting up and putting a school uniform on" left Isla feeling very anxious.Bradford Council is now deciding what additional support is needed.
The council said: "All schools across Bradford have access to specialist teachers who can provide support for children."

Back in my day everyone just went to school. Nobody liked it and you survived as much as you could. Usually the naughty kids came from disruptive households with little structure. Nowdays they would all be labelled with ADHD.
You have spelled PDA wrong on your title
