ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is many things at once. ABA is autistic conversion therapy, with Ivar Lovass pioneering in both. ABA is a pseudoscience shown to increase rates of PTSD in children by 86%.¹ ABA is the bureaucratization of childhood. 1: researchgate.net/publication/32…

During my discussion about welfare reform with my MP we strayed onto mental health. Apparently therapists in schools is the answer. I wonder if there are that many clinical psychologists in the country?

This quote demonstrates why I am ao vehemently against the notion that ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) 'therapy' [using this term losely here] is the "gold standard" to treat autism. ABA, while I do not doubt, has helped some autistic folks, is fundamentally rooted in the
