Dear #BehaviorTwitter

This is a thread.

We know you don't all use electrical shocks on your clients.

But many of you belong to organisations and collaborate with people who condone or endorse this.

We know that the #StopTheShock campaign is not a priority for you.

It's a priority for us.

Your industry, the ABA industry, is completely incompetent and incapable of self-regulation to prevent torture.

You've had decades to stop this, and you didn't care.

You left it to disabled people to spearhead this fight.

Your leaders condoned it and took money from abusers.

Because most of you will not stand up and use the power you have, we will do our utmost to destroy your abusive institutions using every legal means to our disposal.

You can work with us or against it, or attempt to stay neutral while the torture continues.

Years from now, you will be forgotten by history as one of the many nameless professionals who chose not to lift a finger while people suffered.

Those who stood up will be remembered.

Some of you are so out of touch with the people you think you serve that you do not even know what your industry is notorious for.

Shame on you.

Shame on every ABA professional who has looked away and failed to listen.

The accusations against your industry are evidence-based.

It's just not the evidence you were looking for.
