I've been talking with people who work for the most common therapy for autism, ABA, Applied Behaviour Analysis discussing what we need to do to stop ABA hurting children. There's a YouTube channel called "Master ABA", the owner of this channel wants to have an open conversation with autistic people to find ways to make things better for autistic people.
The first video below is the BCBA talking with me about how to make things better, I informed her ABA workers have to stop taking autistic clients to overwhelming environments, like to stop taking people oversensitive to light to places like big shopping centres full of fluorescent lights. The second is I speaking with a father of an autistic daughter sharing some great problems about ABA.
Are you knocking autistic children off balance?
If you can, please share with them what you think ABA needs to change.
