Description

Is your home a constant battlefield of power struggles and emotional burnout?


Welcome to Attuned Spectrum, the podcast for parents navigating the complex reality of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and neurodivergent life.


Hosted by Chantal Hewitt, we move beyond "behavior management" to focus on nervous system safety. If you are searching for support with "Pathological" Demand Avoidance in children, you know that traditional parenting tools don’t work—but a low-demand parenting and lifestyle does.


We dive deep into the strategies that actually create peace at home: declarative language, co-regulation, and building autonomy. Whether you’re dealing with school refusal, autism meltdowns, or sensory overload, this show provides the neuroaffirming wraparound support you’ve been looking for.


Move from crisis to connection. 


Subscribe & Follow to join a community that understands the PDA profile and the beautiful, complex reality of raising PDA children.
