Hey Autistic Person with Large Following/Reputation in Canada Here
#ActuallyAutistic
Ontario doesn't need an Autism Program and emphasis on it in politics is driven by lobbyists that push services that aren't evidence-driven/highly correlated to trauma
#ABAisAbuse #OnPoli
The Ontario Liberals, when faced with the issue of #ODSPoverty(disability supports being legislated poverty), decided they can't commit to raising #ODSP significantly

Instead they are using #50KisNotOK to feign action on Disability

The evidence-base for #ABA is so bad they call it needs-based instead and the reputation for ABA is so bad they won't even call it by name instead calling it needs-based therapy #ABAisAbuse

The JRC says that they need to use [electric shocks] on the people who live there because they struggle with aggression
and self-injury. But the JRC is the only place in the U.S. that uses electric shocks to punish people with disabilities.

In 2013, @UN put out a report calling the use of the GED “torture”. The @US_FDA (which decides what kinds of medical
treatments can be used on people) put out a report 5 yrs ago that said the GED should be
banned. It still hasn’t happened. This is wrong.

@UN @US_FDA Yet the ABAI (Association for Behavioral Analysis International, the governing body of ABA practitioners) is letting the JRC defend the “ethics” of this torture of disabled people at its conference going on RIGHT NOW. This is unacceptable.

The majority of ABA professionals surveyed are aghast at the torture perpetrated by the JRC.

ABAI allows the JRC a platform to justify the abuse.

How many ABA professionals are prepared to stand up, be loud, and make their voices heard at #ABAI2022?

Let us not forget who oversees the torture at the Judge Rotenberg Center and, who has the power to revoke these people's credentials: @BACB_Inc are complicit.
A credential from @BACB_Inc does not in any way attest to your competence to work with humans or other mammals, given that the BACB absolutely permits these abuses, which are not allowed elsewhere in society, even when interrogating crime suspects. #StopTheShock

We told you this was an imperialist cult.

ABAI has an expansionist arm called SABA.

They are serious.

They want to set up control areas in all spheres of society.

ABAI are the people who give a platform to the Judge Rotenberg Center.

It's not just about autism.

#BanABA
They want to mainstream ABA to make it completely unstoppable.
It's a strategy. If they succeed in normalising ABA beyond its current applications, we will have a much harder time trying to stop them from doing this to autistic children.
