Pathological Demand Avoidance is such a passive aggressive term. I find most in the spectrum happily follow a leader provided they are logical, compassionate, considerate and looking for win wins. If the leader is an egotistical boss who sees you as less worthy than them and is demanding you do work that makes no sense and is even perhaps harmful or exploitative, than yeah, I am going to avoidant and not compliant. Wish more were PDA as we would not end up with tyrant leaders.
Pervasive Drive for Autonomy
I think the problem arise when you feel a resistance towards reasonable things you perceive as demands. Like eating for example. Idk how common this is but it reminds me of person that often told me how they hate that their body demands them to eat. So i think the problem arises if you always have this resistance for any type of forced action, because some things in live feel very forced. Why do i have to write this useless thesis again?
Not following the demands of an evil boss is something i would call revolutionary. And yes we need more of that =)

#JustAutisticThings
Alexithymia and inertia are most definitely there, rest can be easily masked by alexithymia, though i guess the sensory processing difference are there as well. There are some oddities that most people around me don’t have or absolutely can’t understand.
I can say by just analysing the words and what they probably mean that I have 3, 4, 5 and 7, no doubt. Never been tested for autism but I’m fairly certain it’s in there.
5 is only sound that I seem to process differently in the sense that I have very sensitive hearing and misophonia. Especially eating sounds cause high levels of stress for me.
Looked up the first of those phrases, basically “stuff some US psychologist made up two decades ago with no further research or even a proper definition”.
