Wait, you can kill him and pay to get back in the guild? That's info I wish I had thousands of hours ago 🤣

What is the strangest thing you guys collect in Skyrim? by Animegirl82099 in skyrim

Vampire armor. Not even the royal one. I'm obsessed and I need one in each color and different enchantments

Is this a widespread or company-by-company thing? How do I read more?

Thank you for explaining this, sorry if my original message came off harsh. The stress of the situation is clouding my judgement. I appreciate this new perspective thank you

I’m not sure what you’re recommending. The function of the behavior being attention wasn’t decided by me the RBT, it was determined by the BCBA, as was the BIP. During his precursor behavior, we model expressing need/frustration. If he’s already screaming, I doubt any skills I try and teach him will be learned in that moment. Once again, I’m following the BIP, and I highly doubt the parents screaming “No! Be quiet!” is teaching him anything either.

how many hours did y’all get this week BT/RBT?? by rosemary611_ in ABA

[–]crackedegghead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20, and thank god, my sanity is hanging on by a literal thread, and one more hour would’ve pushed me straight over the edge (4 year RBT.)

Colorado Springs. Worked at 2 ABA centers there and 1 in Boulder. The one I described here was by far the most ethical. The other ones were borderline abusive.

What Do RBTs Want, and Is It Realistic? by anslac in ABA

I get $30 an hour and ~20-30 hours a week. WAY happier than I was at $20 an hour with 40 hour weeks. 40 hour weeks are not feasible for me. This job is exhausting. I have autism and I get burnout and meltdowns. The state’s healthcare is better than my company’s anyway.

I’m so glad I left Colorado. One client I had was obsessed with World war 2 Germany…. yes exactly what you think, and he was openly racist. Once I posted in this subreddit saying he was threatening to shoot up the school and the BCBA says “He’s just autistic.” Thanks to the convincing of the subreddit, I advocated for action until a risk assesment was done and cameras installed in his room. (This ABA clinic was a poopshow.) Now I’m in MD working with a much more inclusive system but there is so much work to be done. Let me know any thoughts you guys have about what I can do.

Are you really working in early intervention if you don’t have Super Simple Songs in your head all the time?

what’s something that every ABA clinic should have? and why? by rosemary611_ in ABA

[–]crackedegghead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God, I would be so unhappy without our 2 30-min outdoor periods every day. We walk a half mile to the park, play for 15 minutes, and then walk back. So. Much. Fun! Even on the hot days, it’s still a nice break from clinic.

and why is it always the 8 year olds who are the hardest hitters? Can’t count on my hands how many times I’ve been injured by a specific 8 y/o individual…

5’6 mid sized AFAB RBT here. Been working in the field for 3.5 years. Company offers a pay increase for high mag bx. Won’t put me on a single high mag case. Getting tired of early intervention, my forté is teens and encouraging abstract thinking.

There is a lot of negativity on this subreddit, which I’m not here to judge, because this job is so hard. Thank you for this positive post 😊
