This is a very honest book written by Harry Thompson about his life and challenges growing up with PDA, which is a part of the Autism spectrum still not known about by many. It will help many people.
The PDA Paradox by Harry Thompson is the final book in this set. This book is the memoir of Harry Thompson and his experiences of living with a rare form of Autism. He tells us of how this form of Autism affects his life. This is a very honest account of a life. I highly recommend this book.
This book covers the adolescence and early adulthood of the author and his experiences of his diagnoses for Autism (Asperger's and PDA) and ADHD. A few areas are covered especially schooling, relationships, travel and work, as well as difficult subjects such as addiction.
A difficult read at times because of the struggles of the writer but also the very rich vocabulary used which is wonderful but maybe not accessible to all to fully understand/appreciate. It can't be denied that this own-voices memoir is raw, real and truthful, and many would say a vital contribution to our understanding of and appreciation of autism experiences direct from an actually autistic author, of which there should be more, a lot more.
