Chris Wells on PDA: Resistance and Resilience

Chris, thank you so much for sharing this, as it really hits home. That moment with the autobiography assignment says so much. The impulse to transform a demand into something meaningful and creatively yours… and then getting pathologized for it is so familiar. We’re so often misread when we’re actually showing signs of self-awareness. I love that you’ve been drawn to systems and then left them to build your own. That resonates with me, too. There’s something beautiful about making space for our own inner logic and structure, even if it looks like chaos from the outside. Thank you for being here!
