THE AUTONOMY PROFILE LOG: Demand Capacity & Nervous System Tracking for PDA, ADHD & Neurodivergent Families

Behavior is not a choice. It is a measurement of capacity.If you are raising a child with a Pervasive Drive for Autonomy (PDA), Pathological Demand Avoidance, or a sensitive nervous system, you know that standard "behavior logs" do not work. Tracking rewards and consequences fails because your child isn't choosing to be difficult—they are reacting to a full bucket.The Autonomy Profile Log is a first-of-its-kind documentation tool designed to track Nervous System Capacity, not just compliance. It shifts the focus from "What did they do wrong?" to "Why wasn’t their bucket full?"Inside, you will find:The Hierarchy of Demands: A visual guide to the invisible loads (sensory, social, and internal) that trigger the threat response.The "Declarative Language" Cheat Sheet: A script guide to help you move from commands (Threats) to collaboration (Safety).The Daily Capacity Ledger: A revolutionary 2-page spread to track the "Morning Baseline," accumulated demand load, and the "After-School Collapse."Incident & Recovery Tracking: specific checkboxes for Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn responses, helping you identify patterns in their nervous system.Glimmers & Wins: Dedicated space to document special interests, safe people, and moments of flow—because your child is more than their hardest moments.Stop tracking "bad behavior." Start mapping their safety.Perfect for parents, occupational therapists, and advocates needing data for IEP meetings and medical appointments. This is the evidence you need to prove that Low Demand Parenting works. Read more
