well there's a #WorldBehaviorAnalysisDay

sounds like a good opportunity to discuss some of the awful things I've witnessed as an autistic substitute teacher working in alternative schools that practice ABA
cn: restraint

one of the most jarring things to witness is of course the restraint

I've seen children wrestled to the ground by multiple adults at once

for "safety"

there was an elementary kid they put in a vest that was sort of like a straitjacket

#WorldBehaviorAnalysisDay
cn: ABA

another thing I've seen a lot is that an autistic child will feel distress-- maybe a classmate is absent, maybe the room is too loud-- and try to communicate the distress nonverbally

this is usually seen as "attention-seeking behavior"
