In light of everything going on with #ColorTheSpectrum I would like to take a moment to talk about why #AdvancedBehaviorAnalysis is abuse.
When supporting the #AutisticCommunity this should be the second thing you check you aren’t funding. After just erasing us from existence.

I personally went through #ABA myself. So do not tell me I don’t understand. And No, it is not the “old” version. It was very recent and incredibly dehumanizing. I am #ActuallyAutistic and my experience is not the exception it is the common one.
#ABATherapy addresses what is considered “problematic” behavior. Now let’s focus on that wording. BEHAVIOR not cause of behavior, the behavior itself.
The way one behaves is communication. Taking that away is problematic. This should never be done. Instead you should ask WHY!!!
