If you were tagged in this thread it's because I saw you speak on #BillC7 and want you to be aware of this effort

Sorry if it bothers you, this is very important
If you weren't tagged and are an integral part of #KillBillC7 efforts it's because I saw you were already aware and posting about it

Sorry if I missed anyone in between; it's really not personal and this list is not saved anywhere I just looked up who has been engaged recently
One person I missed is @swahkee; there's probably others so make your friends and allies aware of this event and encourage them to sign up

Allies, this is when we need you most!

ABA Practitioners release video stating abuse and ableism is ongoing in their field and that they can't dismiss our critiques

A little over a week later @ABAInternatl announces a panel at their digital event called
"Challenging the FDA Ban on Electrical Stimulation Devices"
Video with BCBAs trying to suggest that there always will be abuse from ABA practitioners while also suggesting they continue to accept money for these services

My Thread Detailing Interactions on Social Media
Here's the page for the panel "Challenging the FDA Ban on Electrical Stimulation Devices" where it defends literally Pavlovian torture methods using electric shocks

I made a Goofy fancam as a comfort character

Goofy was the closest thing to visible representation growing up

A clumsy and well-meaning character who values humility and compassion!

This short video calms me and I hope you enjoy it!
This is trauma work and I am proud of myself for making the effort

Celebrating this small victory ☺️
Jar Jar was the other character that spoke to my experiences growing up in film

Will work on a fancam with them as well, everyone seems to hate them but I legitimately channel Jar Jar in my daily life "whoopsie"

Last week a group of ABA practitioners released a video acknowledging #ActuallyAutistic critiques saying #ABAisAbuse

When I replied saying that we don't accept their apology they stopped advertising it on twitter

I assume it's circulating #Autism facebook groups for PR
This is a marked charge in tactics; acknowledging our complaints and attempting to speak to them to control public perception

This is a sign they are threatened

The Autistic community has a pretty clear majority position: we need to abolish ABA and protect kids from abuse
If you are an ally that's felt comfortable joining the critique of Sia please consider taking up #ABA as a target

Autistic non-speakers are again at greatest risk here; a trend you will see repeated if you are a new ally

Emotional Labor and #Autism

Many Autistic people have difficulty identifying our emotional state even though we are affected by it

This means in times of conflict or crisis we may appear to be calm and confident when we are decidedly not

An #ActuallyAutistic Thread/
For Autistic people who can hide their differences there's often an incentive to be overly serious as being silly in the wrong situation leads to punishment; this makes others perceive us as emotionally strong people

This perception combined with our inability to recognize our own emotions means people often come to us first when they are upset

This is an almost universal experience for me; even strangers on the street recognize this about me and approach me with their problems

My parents were told by professionals I would never be able to make friends, I would never hold down a job, I would never graduate or have kids

I think if they were honest they would say my life was not worth living by their standards, this is a common message to parents
The idea of filicide gets normalized in settings of professional psychiatry and support structure

Parents of disabled children are taught the feeling of wanting to kill your child is normal, that it’s ok to grieve the loss of an imaginary version of your child
These are pervasive ideas that have their root in the ideas of normativity and eugenics

Consistently when parents of disabled children are surveyed they are forthright about having thoughts of euthanasia and sterilization

NAS taking actions straight from the behaviourism playbook

Only reinforce behaviour you want to see, ignore any responses that don’t meet your criteria of appropriate or positive

A taste of what’s to come for children under positive behavioural support services
This is a very good example of what’s wrong with PBS

NAS reinforces the advocate positions that improve the image of their organization, ignore negative feedback as to not reinforce it and possibly lead to more

If you don’t want to research this is a pretty good intro to PBS
The thing that surprised me most about ABA when I helped conduct it was the amount of dishonesty and manipulation towards parents

Once you accept behaviourism as fact it’s only natural you would use this manipulation in all aspects of your life, including running your non-profit
