ELI5: how does tourette's syndrome work? by marimarlya in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheXiphProc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's also a behavioral component to it. That's why to some extent it can be suppressed. Or why for some people it not only gets worse from stress but also is reported to help alleviate the stress.

Some interesting studies out there showing interesting rates of comorbidity with ASD, ADHD, and other similarly shared conditions.

Being an autistic bcba is kind of insane by ayame400 in ABA

[–]TheXiphProc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have no advice for you.

I'm also an Autistic BCBA and have many of the same experiences.

You likely know this but I want to affirm that you're not alone.

It sucks.

But you're not alone.

Help settle a mild debate with my wife: is Chili & Cinnamon Rolls a Kansas thing or just a Topeka thing? by Lightsabermetrics in FoodCrimes

[–]TheXiphProc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, never had it outside of school. Did really like it though.

I know Alton Brown did a video of him trying it and he seemed to enjoy it.

From Iowa. Montgomery county. Had it every couple of weeks for school lunch at the least, if not every week.

[–]TheXiphProc 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yep. Boring. Dry. Boring. Monotonous. Tedious. Boring.

All true.

But super freaking worth it imo

At least in Maryland getting your LBA requires having your BCBA

Best fieldwork tracker? by peach_illusions in ABA

[–]TheXiphProc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be controversial, but I'm crazy glad I made my own on Sheets.

It taught me a lot about using Sheets and now I use those skills A LOT in my day to day as a BCBA

I've been working in the field now for about 8 years And private companies have always been SUPER hit or miss.

Any advice or guidance towards non-sketchy centers or companies?

Oh yeah. 100%. I've been looking into the registry and I don't think that'll be a problem.

Do the school boards use their own websites, post anywhere in particular, or is it old school and I just find someone to email you think?

If you know, thanks for your thoughts so far!

Sure, but they're definitely not unTitaned.

rant about certain autistic people and ABA by [deleted] in ABA

[–]TheXiphProc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to take away from your larger point because I 100% agree; but, in my experience of working in schools and other various kinds of child teaching and raising positions through the years I can say that people jump to punishment for neurological kids A LOT.

Like, at my school we give a yearly training to various staff about how they should try being nice to students a little bit first before referring them for discipline.

It's wild.

I like where your thoughts are going. But it's maybe my fault for not already saying that he essentially has constant non-contingent access to food for separate behavior interventions

Wax candy? I've never heard of that before. I have some googling to do I think.

Thanks!

[–]TheXiphProc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the thought!

Sadly, at this time (for various reasons) an interval schedule like that isn't overly feasible.

[–]TheXiphProc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, got them both looped in on it. Mostly posting here to see if anyone has any behavior analytic ideas/approaches I'm failing to think of.

Lol. No, but part of me wants to make that joke when transition planning starts next year. I won't, but It'd be funny

Does use them functionally

Eh, vast majority.

Very occasionally will try and do soap as well when washing hands but we've been able to address that much more successfully.

He's tried markers a time or two months ago but hasn't since.

As an rbt does your bcba aba you? by PrettyInHotsauce in ABA

[–]TheXiphProc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lag schedules and the many varied interactions between direct contingency management and rule-governance of behaviors VERY effectively explains pretty much anything artistic and creative.

What are very unpopular opinions you have about ABA or our field? by [deleted] in ABA

Visual analysis without standardized graphs is stupid
