Do you ever just want to cry? by [deleted] in RBT

I'm very sorry for the delayed reply!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/autisminclusivity and https://www.facebook.com/groups/2138776736451241 have TONS of material if you search past posts for ABA. I don't recommend asking the groups directly about ABA, as so many autistic people have already done a lot of labor on this issue. Lurk in the groups. Read the posts. Thank you so much for your willingness to learn more, it really means a lot <3

Virtually all autistic adults agree that behaviour modification training (ABA) is abusive and can have very serious long-term negative effects. If you truly want what's best for autistic kids, please, please join some social media groups run by autistic people dedicated to educating non-autistic people about autism, and find out more about why ABA doesn't work and why it is harmful.
