KRISTY FORBES
Why Compliance Isn’t the Goal With Your Neurodivergent Child
Kristy shares her unique insights on how to focus on what really matters with your PDAer—valuing different kinds of knowledge, goals and ways of being, along with communication and being in relationship.
Kristy Forbes is an Australian-based educator with a focus on Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). Drawing on her lived experience as an autistic person with ADHD and a PDA profile, as well as being a school-avoidant individual who now home educates her own neurodivergent children, Kristy offers unique insight into the challenges faced by PDA individuals and their families. Combining her background in education, behavioural support, and family advocacy with personal experiences of trauma, burnout, addiction, homelessness, and systemic misunderstanding, she provides compassionate support through her programs, webinars, and public speaking, all aimed at empowering and understanding those with PDA and related trauma.
