1/8 We need to focus on the plight of #ABA practitioners from a civil rights perspective

The statistics of self harm, suicide, early death, interpersonal victimisation, mental health & systemic barriers for them are nil. Which is vast evidence of marginalisation.

2/8 Imagine being born into a lifetime of indentured slavery as an #ABA practitioner, forced to perform the same thankless tasks from dawn till dusk, over and over again, on a group of ungrateful participants who have the audacity to complain about *their* rights being violated

3/8 I mean #ABA practitioners have no rights, no freedoms, no choice. It's not like they chose to do a job with no evidence base, that inflicts abuse on an extremely vulnerable group and can leave any time they wish.

4/8 The marginalisation & exclusion experienced by #ABA practitioners, is, by their own words, akin to racism & ableism, ergo making them one of the most oppressed people on the planet.

5/8 Perpetually #ABA practitioners are forced to 'quiet their hands' at any sign of distress against the conditions they experience. A suppression of their need to express themselves to communicate their fear and pain.

6/8 These #ABA practitioners,these White Knights, experiencing the ultimate of oppression, victims all, deserve our attention.

Their cries of help, mindlessly chanting "Good Job! Good Job!" Should no longer go unheeded and ignored.

7/8 No longer should the civil rights of these poor #ABA practitioners be denied. No longer their voices silenced & undermined.

8/8 These oppressed few #ABA practitioners shall no longer be trodden upon by the requirement of evidence. Any evidence. Even a smidgeon of a whisper of evidence. That isn't provided by #ABA practitioners.

That all they do isn't fucking abuse driven by supremacism & privilege
