Hello there! I’m currently researching the issue of ABA. I’m reading a lot about the criticisms, but most of the resources I found so far are (likely) made by level 1 autistics. As level 2 and level 3 autistics are not as well represented within autism self-advocacy, I would like to understand their position better on the topic. A usual defense for ABA is that it can help high-support-needs autistics to learn important skills, but I would like to read about that from an autistic perspective.

So if there are resources on the subject you can recommend, I’ll be grateful! thank you

    Instead of “Google it”, present links to useful resources.

    Google has not only gotten worse in general, but is providing completely different realities to different people. You may have that really insightful article as your top result, but someone else will have some unilluminating social media arguments or even several articles defending it eloquently.

      Instead of telling people how and what to do, try fucking off. Like completely. It’s a nice trick and you don’t have to seem condescending.

        As you appear within minutes in the middle of a discussion you were not initially part of, in a community you have no recent history of engaging in, I have to assume you have some relation to the comment I replied to.

        Tell the same to them. Someone asked for resources, and were told “you are wrong to ask - go look for resources”.

          I have no idea what you’re on about, but it seems clear to me that you have a relation to Microsoft and are trying to push their agenda.

          Tell the same to them

            How did you come to that conclusion? If you interpret “Don’t use Google” as “Use Bing” that’s more of a you problem. There are more than two search engines.

      It’s exhausting to be the research assistant for people who aren’t willing to put in the work. (Not saying that that’s OP.) It’s more within my capacity to point out where someone is making a gaffe and have them do the work to figure out why. I’ve been internetting since Telnet days and nothing has changed: people aren’t interested in sources you find for them, esp. on highly charged topics like this.
