  1. @dramypsyd @actuallyautistic #StopTheShock & #ABAIsAbuse were very prominent & railed against in the autistic community over on X-itter when I was there. We really do need to keep this pressure on.

    These abusive monsters have managed to get ABA labelled as, "The Gold Standard for Autism treatment" I shit you not.

    Studying autism for my master's we were introduced to ABA by some vicious little sociopath who clearly hated autistic people.

    I was the only autistic there & I was the only one who raised an issue & challenged it. Every other student had autistic kids & they didn't bat an eyelid.

    Call it out. Get pissed off. Shame every practitioner & apologist.

  6. CW: ABA, ableism and eugenics, child abuse, trauma

    ABA ("applied behavior analysis") is conversion therapy for autistic people, developed with the same methods by the same people. Anybody who wants to defend ABA to me can start by reading the Kupferstein study, after which they may come back and report the rate of PTSD they'd tolerate a "service" causing children they considered human.

    I'll even link it here, because my standards are very low for behaviorists' willingness to consider #ActuallyAutistic people human enough to have anything valuable to contribute to conversations about us.

    Following that, I'd like to know if they can figure out the implications of child trauma going up without dropping parent satisfaction rates. If autistic people can figure that out, surely even the most low functioning allistic people will have no trouble at all.

    Just for good measure, @actuallyautistic is getting a copy of this.

    All this is actually me being generous and optimistic about the potential for allistic people to learn appropriate medical ethics and behaviors. Maybe then we will be able to get care for autistic kids that meets the ethical standards of dog obedience training.

  10. @gwup Ich freu mich schon total auf den nächsten Skeptiker mit dem Leitartikel "Schulbildung für Mädchen, ja oder nein?", verfaßt von einem Expertengremium aus 2 Taliban und noch einem Taliban. Nee, echt, kann's kaum erwarten.

    @actuallyautistic I'm sorry you had to experience even that much...as you said, Autism Speaks kinda says enough (triple-pun intended). At least you knew something bad was coming thanks to the CW. 😉 #abaIsAbuse

  17. CW: Trigger warning for #autistic individuals forced to do "therapy" as children

    @actuallyautistic I've heard phrases flippantly tossed around referring to positive benefits of ABA in various meetings about my daughter lately. As an #ActuallyAutistic subjected to a mere fraction of the abuse ABA unleashes upon vulnerable #autistic children, I need to yell into the Fediverse: ABA IS NOT "fixing" your ASD child, it is RUTHLESSLY stripping them of their agency and extinguishing behaviors which are as natural, and vital, to a ND individual as breathing! #abaIsAbuse

  22. CW: aba, birdsite

    Just linking to this evolving thread on the birdsite by Tania Melnyczuk

    Her long and multiply-branching threads are always a joy to get lost in

    Here she is trying to fathom what on earth ‘good’ #ABA practitioners could possibly think they’re doing when they ‘treat’ #ActuallyAutistic people

  23. Everyday I’m doodling … 🖍

    And while I do love drawing, doodling is actually one of my stims (autistic self stimulation). And if you see me do it, know that it keeps me focused during meetings (looking at my old doodles also triggers my memory on what said during a meeting).

    This little octopus 🐙 I doodled yesterday during a queer 🏳️‍🌈 network meeting at work (though I only coloured it in after I got home).
