#AskingAutistics Do you think ABA is at all salvageable with a change to what kind of intervention/practice is utilized? Do you think it's possible for a therapist to use ABA in a positive/constructive way? *Please note I am asking autistic people not parents, friends, etc.*


Big ABA controls the narrative. ABA professionals are voices of privilege. Yet they will likely work to discredit this when it comes out because they can't stand an iota of dissent. Autistic people have nothing to lose. They work to stop others from being harmed.

ABA is blind to it's sexism, racism and classism #abareform #aba

The researchers used arbitrary punishment in social skills training. They also collected info from everyone around the child as data to show success, but didn't ask the child what they wanted or thought about the social skills training. apf.org.hk/research_journ…

✨Autistic reading Finding S.A.M Thread ✨ Trigger warnings galore for ableism etc etc


This glimmer of hope is brought to you by the Autistic community. Please don't confuse them with the Autism community who did nothing.

"The authors pathologize autistic participants for refusing to support a bad cause, essentially for not being as selfish as the non-autistic group". So much ableism in the research discussed here #abareform

Jay Jay did not start speaking until 12 yrs. Diagnosed severe autistic aged 2. Subjected to ABA 4-15 yrs. This is Jay Jay's journey If you are an ABAer you have no right to promote ABA without listening to actual experience. #ABAharms #ActuallyAutistic @prof_standards #cprd

I spoke to Jay Jay today about their negative experiences with ABA and the resulting trauma. Please don’t subject any more #Autistic kids to this abuse. #yesallABA #banABA #todayinABA @abaukdiscussion @KieranRose7 @EDalmayne youtu.be/kvr8nR2wuJk



When I was in #aba grad school stats, I was using my fingers under my desk to do math (dyscalculia) and my professor chewed me out in front of class saying if I needed to use fingers I didn't belong there. He's a big, powerful name in aba 😕

Retweet this if you've experienced ableism in academia. #AcademicChatter #DisabledinSTEM



Forget the complete lack of generalization (external sensation ≠ internal pain), the terrifying lack of body autonomy and the very likely lack of informed consent w appropriate assent withdrawal strategies, this is GROOMING #aba

Drink the kool aid, disseminate kool aid, fault others who reject your kool aid as poor misinformed peons and attempt to educate them....unless you can't control their environment. #aba #abareform

No one deserves to be treated this way and have their privacy and consent violated especially by a 'helping' profession

If you need a peek into ABA's view on this, take a look at the book 'Toilet Training in a Day' by Foxx and Azrin (two aba gurus). It's widely recommended in ABA, sexist, ableist and cruel approach that uses shaming as a tactic.
