The lobbyists pitched ABA as something all Autistic People need to get ready for mainstream school and life, a stepping stone into school.

Our group was there, speaking to to the harms of ABA.

Recently there were some objections to my use of the terms “Autistic Conversion Therapy” and “NeuroDivergent Conversion Therapy” that it was “offensive” and “insensitive”…

'Conversion Therapy' is ANY behavioral modification program that uses negative & positive reinforcements to coerce someone into emulating behaviors that are forced and unnatural to them to make the person blend in and appear more 'socially acceptable.'
