Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)
- Definition : A subtype of autism involving extreme avoidance of everyday demands due to anxiety.
- GcMAF Role :
1. Immune System Support : GcMaf is known to activate macrophages, which are crucial for the immune system. Enhanced immune function helps in managing some symptoms associated with PDA, such as increased susceptibility to infections.
2. Anti-inflammatory Effects :
Inflammation is a common issue in many neurological and developmental disorders. GcMaf’s anti-inflammatory properties help reduce neuroinflammation, which could be beneficial for individuals with PDA.
3. Neurological Benefits :
Studies suggest that GcMaf has neuroprotective effects. This helps in improving neurological function and reducing symptoms such as anxiety and stress, which are common in PDA.
4. Improved Cognitive Function :
There is evidence that GcMaf supports cognitive function. For individuals with PDA, this could mean potential improvements in managing demands and reducing avoidance behaviors.
