I am so excited today to receive my copy of Kathy Hoopman‘s new book, All About PDA. Kathy wrote this book so that people would understand PDA, and know that PDAers are amazing people who help us to reevaluate our philosophies and our approaches to life. As with all Kathy ‘s books, she simply and insightfully explains the experiences of neuro divergent people. Thank you so much for writing this bookKathy! I know that many people will benefit.❤️
