I'm autistic and I taught myself largely how to act like a NT in High School. I am currently of the belief that there is no reason for behavior modification in the absence of large quantities of ignorant bigots. But, as brains are plastic, and there is nothing wrong with being NT or autistic, if this treatment is able to teach the children social behaviors without stress and so that they become automatic, I see nothing wrong with it.

@rookieru I don't know anything about ABA, but associating allergies and harmful metals with autism is a bunch of nonsense. "Autistic behavior" as separate from the person is also nonsense. It's as ignorant as separating, "gay behavior" from homosexuals.

Working in a special needs classroom for years has led me to the wonderful truth that nobody knows exactly what they're doing whatsoever. Being a teacher, and having conflicting opinions by professionals whom all believe they're way is the correct way, hinders children from making any progress in any aspect.

If we take a truly comprehensive Developmental approach, which ABA is clearly not, we are addressing the principles of Developmental psychology , e.g., deepening attachment and the understanding and deepening of the child's social interactions through his/her underlying emotional (or affect) connections with others.

"ABA is based upon psychological principles." Oh, really is that so?! Let us be a bit more precise. It is based upon four decades of behavioral-evidence based research, which on the surface can seem to caregivers, educators and therapists impressive. However, in reality it is inconsistent with

last twenty-five years of neuroscience, specifically Neuroplasticity or the strengthening of neuronal connections through two-way reciprocal affect reciprocity. In other words, the principles of.....

@chumkiu62 Sorry to hear that!!!!I wish you well!!!

That's awful parents need to hear stories like yours before they put their children into these harsh programs. You are proof that a gentle and nurturing approach is the best gift for your child's life. Electric shock , straps, gags and drugs do not belong in a child's development.
