Any traces of Autistic Impostor Syndrome which I may have developed since my anxiety and sensory overload went into remission were wiped out this month when I spent time in my Matric class WhatsApp group.
They are talking about the rugby between South Africa and Scotland, and there was a photo of what I take to be a famous rugby player with the son of one of my classmates, but I think that's in some other context.
And they are talking about a golf day which I think is an annual fundraiser for the school. I've never fully understood how such a thing manages to make money, considering I'd want to be paid to do that, but somehow they get people to pay for going through it themselves!

@CadaJennifer The 'science' underlying ABA is flawed, unethical and riddled with conflicts of interest.
@CadaJennifer ABA is not a science.

#ABAisPseudoscience
@CadaJennifer ABA apologists always tell us that when the therapist was abusive, it was just one bad apple. And yet, some people have MANY therapists over many years at many institutions, and they're ALL abusive. Wonder why that happens? Maybe because the entire profession is abusive?

And here we have a person on social media preaching from a position of privilege...
...While many autistic people are denied the right to even communicate at all. #ListenToNonspeakers autisticstrategies.net/nonspeaking-au…
"...nor is it conversion therapy."

Well, technically, you are completely correct! It is only called conversion therapy when it's applied to people who aren't cishet.

Happy now?

These 'experts' want autistic children to be accepted in society someday, but they cannot even accept what thousands of speaking and nonspeaking autistic people say about what what works best for them.
Based on what they are modeling for parents and for society as a whole, how on earth do they expect to succeed in reaching their magnanimous lofty goal?

#NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
Here's the challenge, O Magnanimous Autism Experts! This is for you!

The core element needed for anyone to adopt ABA for use on vulnerable autistic people is #ableism. The cult of ABA believes that ABA helps autistic children. To provide this 'help', it is important to strip the subject of their agency and to get them into self-preservation mode.
While most ABA practitioners no longer use slaps and electric shocks, all ABA regards the work of Rekers & Lovaas as part of the evidence base in support of ABA. Rekers went on to use behaviour modification against gay and trans people, while Lovaas continued with autistics.
Today there is an international movement to #BanConversionTherapy and #BanABA.
