Benevolent Ableism is a very real growing problem around ABA and it's infringing of autism/human rights these days....

I've hated using the word "therapy" to describe ABA, but now I am done propagating that lie.

From now on, I will refer to it as "ABA training."

Note to all professionals....

Autistic self-identification/ self-'diagnosis'.....

**is valid**

Not everyone has access or resources to be formally assessed.

Not all those who want to formally assessed are safe to do so.

Not all professionals who do assess for autism, are fully aware, up-to-date with their knowledge on what autism IS and IS NOT.

Not all professionals practice in a neuro-affirmative way, thereby perpetuating the dangerous deficit-based language and attitudes around autism.

If someone thinks they are or might be Autistic, and comes to you for support around this.....

Please validate them, don't dismiss them and explore their reasons why.... Chances are they've done a lot of research into this, resonate strongly with what they've found....and so very likely to be Autistic.

We professionals can do so much to support self-identified Autistic people to just as we can with officially identified Autistic people.
