  1. I invite any of you who advocate for ABA or who believe behavioral modification is acceptable for autistic and special needs individuals to look at these two pictures. This is Isaiah Tremell and his sister, Alexia, alongside a very young Kirk Murphy, who took his own life in 2003 after enduring conversion therapy under Dr. Ole Ivar Lovaas—the founder of ABA.

  2. I'm regularly confused why anyone, especially parents of Autistic children, would think ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is a good thing.

    Sure, it might make your child compliant at moments when you want to do show-and-tell with your "friends", but you will be generating lifelong trauma.

  3. Yksi käytännön esimerkki miten Autismiliitto vika- ja vajepositiostaan toimii haitallisesti autisteja kohtaan ja epäeettisesti: Autismiliitto kampanjoi maksua vastaan ABAn puolesta. Esim. #StopABA #BanABA löytyy tietoa. Saman ihmisen luoma toimintatapa kuin seksuaaluvähemmistöjen ns. eheytys.

  4. @terokankaanpera Samaan lakiin mahtuu toivottavasti myös autistien eheyttämiskielto. Jostain syystä eheytyshoidot (mm.ABA) mielletään meidän kohdalla "terapiaksi", koska eheyttäjät niin sanovat. #BanABA

    Look out! This place does applied behavior analysis (ABA), which autistic people say is abusive, torture, and completely unhelpful. People say that it is a method of forcing autistic people to behave in ways that are more comfortable for neurotypical people, rather than helping the autistic people in any way.
