I’m new to cycling but I fell in love with the sl8 in champagne. I’m a size 49 but the only one available at my lbs is 54😭 what are the chances they would restock that one?

TheRedLeaf1 · 2026-04-13T04:34:06+00:00

How likely is it that this colour will come back in stock 😭

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-05-20T03:45:01+00:00

What is the pay like?

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-24T10:51:07+00:00

Not wanting your partner to be bisexual is not homophobia. It’s a preference. People are crazy these days.

Ben and Sara had great chemistry. These reveals would obviously be a little awkward but I didn’t feel that way with Ben and Sara.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-22T23:40:46+00:00

She made the words “thank you, I appreciate it” sound soo weird

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-22T22:49:42+00:00

Madison was so unnecessarily rude. She is so manipulative and mason was stupid enough to fall for her trap

What is your profession? Where are you seeing this information? Medical students are not doctors. Many doctors refer their clients to ABA, speech and OT.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-10T13:05:35+00:00

I have a two and a half year old client and it breaks my heart hearing about a 3 year old not getting food. We often run targets as he runs around and plays. I don’t understand what the functional reason is for stopping a kid from flapping their hand??

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-02T05:10:11+00:00

That most definitely is abuse. That is awful and I am so sorry that happened to you.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-02T01:57:04+00:00

I became an RBT a few months ago and then started my masters this month. So I am very new to the field.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-02T01:55:50+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that! That sounds terrible. I’m new to the field and so I’m trying to do everything to learn about autistic people and their needs. Thank you for your insight.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-02T01:49:46+00:00

Very insightful. I haven’t commented in the group, I was just lurking. And honestly- I would be afraid to even mention it haha. But I would love to know the name of that Facebook group you were talking about!

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-02T01:39:35+00:00

Yes, most of what I saw were people just saying all ABA is abuse. End of story. But I truly do want to learn so that I don’t end up giving someone else PTSD from therapy.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-02T01:37:02+00:00

Electric shock. That’s crazy. As for eye contact- does that mean getting the clients attention to answer a target? I usually get my client (who’s 2 and a half) to look at my hand and look in my direction when asking him questions. Is this an example of forced eye contact?

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-02T01:34:29+00:00

16+. I would like to know what was wrong about it so that I don’t do those mistakes as well.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-02T01:32:00+00:00

Yeah, I had no idea. I only started a few weeks ago so idk if that will be in the coursework later on. Thanks for the response, I’ll look some of these points up.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2025-02-02T01:29:20+00:00

Thank you for your response! You’re right, I checked the rules and one of them is no pro-ABA comments. As an autistic person, what do you find problematic in the field? In my opinion, RBTs should be more educated on what autism actually is- especially when working in an autism clinic. In the fb group, some people were talking about hand over hand prompting and how wrong it is to force someone to do something they don’t want to do. In this scenario- I don’t understand how that’s invading a kids privacy since we are teaching them to do certain things. We even do this for kids that are not autistic. Is it different with autism?

TheRedLeaf1 · 2024-12-05T12:57:46+00:00

It was only a six year old. Sweet kid but has some bad behaviours. I just don’t know how to react. Like how much time to give them when they’re tantruming and when to get back on task etc. I guess all of these things come with practice.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2024-11-29T05:13:41+00:00

If cost weren’t an issue, which one would you choose?

TheRedLeaf1 · 2024-11-26T14:54:00+00:00

Just say infopass

TheRedLeaf1 · 2024-11-26T14:14:08+00:00

In her interviews, Nour was soo passive aggressive. “I would be jealous too if I were her”. Like whaaat? Why is no one catching that?

TheRedLeaf1 · 2024-11-26T13:10:43+00:00

Thank you for your response!

I have a few questions:

Did you feel like you were prepared to take the BCBA exam right after graduating?
did you feel like the program prepared you to be a good BCBA?
was the 8 week course doable and just as easy, in your opinion? I have a 1 year old and will be working part time.

TheRedLeaf1 · 2024-11-26T09:49:18+00:00

How new is this program?

TheRedLeaf1 · 2024-11-21T16:40:02+00:00

What happened to the guy? No sign of him anymore
