I have a 10 yo daughter with PDA autism (and ADHD) who decided to refuse her medication in early January. We have noticed a big difference from when she took them so we really want her to get back on them, but nothing we have tried works. Anyone with some experience they want to share? We are grasping for straws at this point. Help

That's not how PDA has worked for me, it's as if the action has a -infinity attached to it, and no amount of rewarding or threatening works.
